A breakthrough that got credit for “simplifying” quantum physics could wipe away some of its more troubling contradictions by pointing out that even those who can calculate it precisely don’t always ...

In quantum physics, light is identified by two linked properties that roughly correspond to a particle's position and intensity—but can never be known with perfect precision, a concept known as ...

In quantum mechanics, it is impossible to know both exactly where you are and exactly where you are going. This idea, known as Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, has been a key part of studying the ...

Artificial intelligence is sliding into physics classrooms so smoothly that it can feel like a harmless upgrade rather than a ...
