A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Assistant Professor Julian Léonard at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA). Léonard explains how his group can view the quantum interactions between individual atoms under an optical ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

More than 80 years ago, Erwin Schrödinger, a theoretical physicist steeped in the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the Upanishads, delivered a series of public lectures at Trinity College, Dublin, which ...
