Nathaniel Gabor is a professor of physics and astronomy at UC Riverside. RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Scientists at the University of California, Riverside are making breakthroughs in understanding how ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Despite the many different “interpretational” layers added to the theory, there is a general consensus within the contemporary physics community on what constitutes the basic, “Standard” version of ...

One of the major events of 20th-century physics has been the founding and subsequent evolution of quantum mechanics. First, a strange curiosity that went strongly against intuition and caused decades ...

Using a highly coherent positronium beam, the researchers observed clear diffraction patterns after transmission through a graphene film, confirming its wave-like behavior. One of the discoveries that ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

Schrödinger’s cat, famously, is both alive and dead – but what if it could be something else as well? Researchers at the ...

Oxford physicists have created an unconventional class of quantum superpositions from highly nonclassical states.
