Quantum mechanics has a concept called a “wave function.” It’s incredibly important because it holds all the measurable information about a particle (or group of particles) within it. In practice, the ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

Studying quantum mechanics, which I’ve been doing for the last two-plus years, has served as an antidote to my tendency toward habituation, taking reality for granted. Wave functions, superposition ...

IT MAY soon be possible to extract information from a quantum object – and even manipulate it – without simultaneously destroying its delicate quantum state. The result would be a boon for quantum ...

Quantum computing, secure wireless communication and advances in quantum teleportation could be closer to reality now that a team of researchers has developed a more efficient way of measuring wave ...
