In a new, detailed breakdown of current theory, a team of physicists led by Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia ...

Quantum mechanics has always had a way of making even the sharpest minds stop and scratch their heads. In the everyday world, you expect objects to follow straightforward rules. A ball thrown into the ...

Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics has challenged our established notions of physics. At its core are questions that unsettle our understanding of the universe: when does a quantum particle ...

A team of physicists has taken quantum weirdness to new heights by measuring a pulse of light in 37 dimensions. Their ...

The standard interpretation of a null state, or empty state, posits it as devoid of structure. This paper introduces a ...

This idea was once thought to lie beyond the reach of scientific inquiry,” said physicist Mir Faizal of the University of British Columbia.
