Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.

Quantum systems don’t just transition between phases—they do so in ways that defy classical intuition. A new experiment has ...

In 1926 Heisenberg joined Bohr at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen. This turned out to be one of the most productive periods in Heisenberg's life. In 1927 he was puzzling over ...

Researchers at Empa have taken a significant step toward practical quantum computing by creating and manipulating Heisenberg ...

Today, physicists are still asking themselves whether quantum mechanics needs hypercomplex numbers. FAU researchers Ece Ipek ...
