Scientists at the University of California, Riverside are making breakthroughs in understanding how quantum wave functions move across ultra-thin materials—research that could eventually improve solar ...

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 ...

From the vantage point of quantum physics, the universe may in some ways be fundamentally unknowable. In quantum physics, every object, such as an electron, is matched to a mathematical formula called ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a manuscript for publication. Its centerpiece was an innocuous-looking equation ...
