Werner Heisenberg submitted a paper to Zeitschrift für Physik entitled ‘On quantum-theoretical reinterpretation of kinematic and mechanical relationships’, thus giving birth to quantum mechanics. In ...

The weird paradox of Schrödinger’s cat has found a lasting popularity. What does it mean for the future of quantum physics?

Nonlocal correlations that define quantum entanglement could be reconciled with Einstein’s theory of relativity if space–time ...

This idea puts a morbid twist on quantum theory, suggesting that a copy of you may remain alive, no matter what.

A new technique improves the reliability of cat qubits by squeezing their probabilistic states. This could improve their reliability and lifetime, and pave the way for accurate quantum computing.

Andrew Cuomo’s handling of the pandemic — and indicates that the Trump administration is fully onboard with the theory that COVID-19 leaked out of a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

That idea was quantum theory. In recognition of the quantum centenary, the United Nations has designated 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. There will be ...

This culture of overhype must be challenged. Why even physicists still don’t understand quantum theory 100 years on The technology can do enormous good for society, by accelerating the pace of ...

This article is part of a special series celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of quantum theory. Read more here. We aren’t short of ideas. Which of them you prefer is largely a matter ...

In 1935, Erwin Schrödinger used a thought experiment now known as “Schrödinger’s cat” to emphasize what he saw as a problem with some interpretations of quantum theory. His gedankenexperiment involved ...
