Multichannel Quantum Defect Theory (MQDT) constitutes an elegant framework for interpreting the complex electronic structure of atoms and molecules, particularly in the vicinity of ionisation ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades in the making, could help physicists probe the relationship between quantum ...

By adapting ideas from gauge theory, the researchers show how quantum information spread-out across a machine can be measured using only local checks, significantly lowering computing overhead. Their ...

The prevailing assumption has been that Einstein's theory of gravity must be modified, or 'quantized', in order to fit within quantum theory. This is the approach of two leading candidates for a ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...

You might say it all started with a spot of hay fever. In June 1925, a young physicist named Werner Heisenberg retreated to the barren island of Helgoland in the North Sea, seeking respite from his ...

A radical theory that consistently unifies gravity and quantum mechanics while preserving Einstein's classical concept of spacetime has been announced in two papers published simultaneously by UCL ...
