Quantum theory has long treated time as a silent backdrop, a parameter that never jitters even as particles flicker in and ...

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Next-generation atomic timekeeping techniques could push new frontiers in quantum physics, according to a new study. Atomic clocks are essential elements in GPS and other navigation systems — and a ...

The current state of the art of embedded motion sensing is based around micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. These miracles of microfabrication use tiny silicon structures, configured to ...

A study by physicists affiliated with the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI) found that time ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, along with other scientists, are taking small steps to create materials that could enable quantum leaps in computing speed, security in communications and ...

Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...

This has now paved the way for a multi-ion optical ytterbium clock that combines the high accuracy of single-ion clocks with ...
