Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also ...

Researchers developed a technique to calculate quantum wave functions 350 times faster than previous methods.

Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of ...

Each wave function can be characterized by something called its spin vector. Imagine an arrow associated with the wave function that can be pointing in any direction.

Trapping and controlling electrons in bilayer graphene quantum dots yields a promising platform for quantum information technologies. Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have now achieved the first direct ...

“Could we hear the pop of a wave-function collapse, and if so, what would it sound like?” asks Antoine Tilloy of the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Germany. To find out why the “sound is ...

Some interpretations of quantum mechanics propose that our entire universe is described by a single universal wave function that constantly splits and multiplies.

Researchers have now achieved the first direct visualization of quantum dots in bilayer graphene, revealing the shape of the quantum wave function of the trapped electrons.
