The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...

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 ...

A new version of quantum theory sweeps away the bizarre paradoxes of the microscopic world. The cost? Quantum information exists only in your imagination Flawlessly accounting for the behavior of ...

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 ...

Ever since Democritus – a Greek philosopher who lived between the 5th and 4th century's BCE – argued that all of existence was made up of tiny indivisible atoms, scientists have been speculating as to ...

A tiny, shimmying cantilever wiggles a bit more than expected in a new experiment. The excess jiggling of the miniature, diving board–like structure might hint at why the strange rules of quantum ...

The first direct visualization of quantum dots in bilayer graphene shows the shape of the quantum wave function of the trapped electrons. (Image credit: Zhehao Ge, Frederic Joucken, and Jairo Velasco ...
