Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces ...

Exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation have long provided fundamental insights into quantum mechanics by furnishing explicit analytical expressions for wave functions and energy spectra.

When a German physicist returned from a health retreat 100 years ago, his ideas sparked a debate about reality, and gave rise ...

A new theory suggests that “time” might be the product of a universe that, long ago, decided to settle down into one definitive story, sparking reality as we know it.

In 1935, in a Europe on the brink of war, Erwin Schrodinger trapped an imaginary cat inside a quantum puzzle -- and in doing ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, connects quantum ...
