The fuzzy quantum shape that describes the speed or location of a single particle, its wave function, has now been directly measured in the laboratory, giving this mathematical concept a small dose of ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists think that our universe started out as just a lot of quantum fluctuations. That means, if you’re able to calculate wave-function of those quantum fluctuations, you ...

The precise imaging of many-body systems, which are comprised of many interacting particles, can help to validate theoretical ...

In recent years, physicists have been trying to better understand the behavior of individual quantum particles as they move ...

It underpins the whole theory of quantum mechanics, but does it exist? For nearly a century physicists have argued about whether the wave function is a real part of the world or just a mathematical ...

Trapping and controlling electrons in bilayer graphene quantum dots yields a promising platform for quantum information technologies. Researchers have now achieved the first direct visualization of ...

The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving ...
