An intelligent material that learns by physically changing itself, similar to how the human brain works, could be the foundation of a completely new generation of computers. Radboud physicists working toward this so-called “quantum brain” have made an important…

A new technique involving entangled photons has just led to a world first. Physicists have overcome a significant limitation of traditional holography by using quantum mechanics to successfully encode information within a hologram.

An international research team has proven that the imaginary part of quantum mechanics can be observed in action in the real world. For almost a century, physicists have been intrigued by the fundamental question: why are complex numbers so important in quantum…

نظریه‌ی مشهور استیون هاوکینگ درباره‌ی آنتروپی سیاه چاله‌ها ثابت شد. بر اساس این نظریه‌، مساحت سیاه چاله‌ها به مرور زمان کاهش نمی‌یابد.

دمای شئ در این آزمایش تا ۷۷ نانو کلوین پایین آمد که به گفتهٔ پژوهشگران با دمای سطح کوانتمی‌ پیش‌بینی‌شدهٔ آن یعنی ۱۰ نانو کلوین فاصلهٔ چندانی نداشت.

We find examples of fractals everywhere in nature. Tree branches, snowflakes, river deltas, cloud formations, and more. So it’s natural to ask the ultimate question: is the entire universe one giant fractal? The answer is…no, but sorta yes. Benoit Mandelbrot…

A new theory of many-body quantum systems shows that the complementarity principle between interference and which-path information is present not only among single particles but also among many partially distinguishable particles.

Quantum theory can’t be the final answer and some theorists are exploring new ways to formulate physical laws – and yet there is no guarantee that any theory can completely describe the universe

آب رفتارهای عجیبی دارد و تحقیقات جدید از جمله نخستین مشاهدات از کشش کوانتومی آن ممکن است به ارائه توضیحات پیرامون این راز کمک کند.

بیگ بنگ: یکی از مهمترین سوالاتی که در علم باید به آن پاسخ دهیم این است که خودآگاهی چگونه ایجاد می‌شود؟ در دهه 90، مدت‌ها قبل از اینکه فیزیکدان "راجر پنروز" جایزه نوبل فیزیک سال 2020 را برای پیش‌بینی سیاهچاله‌ها برنده شود، با همکاری "استوارت هامروف" یک پاسخ…

در یک آزمایش جدید فیزیک به نظر می‌رسد واقعیت با خودش در تضاد است و دانشمندان می‌گویند در واقع چیزی به عنوان واقعیت عینی وجود ندارد.

One of the most fundamental features of quantum physics is Bell nonlocality: the fact that the predictions of quantum mechanics cannot be explained by any local (classical) theory. This has remarkable ...

صفر مطلق، نقطه‌ای است که در آن ذرات بنیادی طبیعت دارای کمترین حرکت ارتعاشی هستند. با این حال هنوز دانشمندان نتوانسته‌اند دمای صفر مطلق را حتی در شرایط آزمایشگاهی ایجاد کنند.

Richard Feynman famously said, "I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics." Since Feynman won a Nobel Prize in physics for his work in quantum theory, he certainly understood ...

A century after the quantum revolution, a lot of uncertainty remains.

<p><em>Most interpretations of quantum mechanics have taken non-locality – “spooky action at a distance” – as a brute fact about the way the world is. But there is another way. Take seriously quantum theory’s higher-dimensional models, and we could make sense…

If true, this could have major implications for physics.

It often feels like electronics will continue to get faster forever, but at some point the laws of physics will intervene to put a stop to that. Now scientists have calculated the ultimate speed limit – the point at which quantum mechanics prevents microchips…

In physics, as in life, it's always good to look at things from different perspectives.

The physics of the microrealm involves two famous and bizarre concepts: The first is that prior to observation, it is impossible to know with certainty the outcome of a measurement on a particle; rather ...

The molecules of life, DNA, replicate with astounding precision, yet this process is not immune to mistakes and can lead to mutations. Using sophisticated computer modeling, a team of physicists and chemists ...
