Discover the Python and NumPy concepts that are easy to forget but essential for quantum physics calculations. This tutorial highlights key functions, array manipulations, and numerical techniques ...

EPFL physicists have found a way to measure the time involved in quantum events and found it depends on the symmetry of the material. "The concept of time has troubled philosophers and physicists for ...

Physicists have found a way to measure how long ultra-fast quantum events actually take—without using a clock at all.

Unless you're a physicist, you've probably only encountered quantum mechanics on TV. And even when it was explained, you might've still been a little confused. The field of quantum mechanics was ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does not apply to objects on the atomic scale whose physical properties are linked ...

A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...
