A team of German physicists has built a fully working version of quantum mechanics that uses only real numbers. Complex ...

Irrational numbers have underpinned quantum mechanics for a century. Removing them could eliminate its strangest features and ...

Nobel prizewinner Alain Aspect’s ‘crackpot’ studies of quantum entanglement have explored the tricks reality plays on us — and built on ideas from a physics great. Einstein and the Quantum Revolutions ...

Can the universe really be as weird as quantum theory suggests? Ingenious experiments are coming close to settling the issue WHEN Rupert Ursin stood in the darkness at the highest point of La Palma in ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of what is real. At the smallest scales, the equations that power lasers, ...

At an event to mark the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics last month, lauded specialists in quantum physics argued politely — but firmly — about the issue. “There is no quantum world,” said ...

As Joe Howlett points out, "the Schrödinger equation remains physicists’ foremost window into the quantum realm. It tells scientists how that strange world works; that is, how quantum objects interact ...
