Are the mysteries of quantum mechanics finally starting to crack, or are we just getting better at asking sharper questions? Since the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics honored experiments on quantum ...
The quantum world and our everyday world are very different places. In a publication that appeared as the “Editor’s Suggestion” in Physical Review A this week, UvA physicists Jasper van Wezel and ...
Many World’s lack wavefunction collapse might be the key to the measurement problem. The mystery of what happens when we go from a superposition to a definite state is known as the Measurement Problem ...
They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...
There are three types of quantum physicists: (1) those who think quantum mechanics is defaced by a so-called measurement problem; (2) those who think, as I do, that there is no measurement problem; ...
Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...
For the first time, researchers in China have accurately quantified how chaos increases in a quantum many-body system as it evolves over time. Combining experiments and theory, a team led by Yu-Chen ...
