A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

Electrons are elementary particles -- indivisible, unbreakable. But new research suggests the electron's quantum state -- the electron wave function -- can be separated into many parts. That has some ...

The wave function—an abstract concept used to predict the behavior of quantum particles—is the bedrock on which physicists have built their understanding of quantum mechanics. But this bedrock itself ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...
