Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

Over a decade ago, when I was first starting to pretend I could write about quantum mechanics, I covered a truly bizarre experiment. One half of a pair of entangled photons was sent through a device ...

For the first time, a team of physicists in Austria has carried out an experiment that appears to verify the principle of indefinite causal order: an idea that suggests that timelines of events can ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story… A mind-bending theory called quantum immortality suggests that your consciousness shifts to parallel universes after you die. The theory is an ...

Quantum mechanics is both the most powerful theory physicists have ever devised and the most baffling. On the one hand, countless experiments have confirmed its predictions; the theory undergirds ...

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps ...

The original paper by Kim et al. on the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser suggests the concept of retrocausality, which stems from classical interpretations. In quantum mechanics, particles exhibit ...

Schrödinger’s cat just got a little bit fatter. Physicists have created the largest ever ‘superposition’ — a quantum state in which an object exists in a haze of possible locations at once. A team ...

Netflix’s Unlocked: A Jail Experiment chronicles revolutionary changes to incarceration taking place at select prisons in the U.S. The second season of Unlocked: A Jail Experiment — which premiered ...
