In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of modern quantum mechanics, a survey asked physicists for their takes on some hot ...

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

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a ...

A survey of more than 1,000 physicists finds deep disagreements in what quantum theories mean in the real world ...

It’s the weirdest thing: quantum theory works incredibly well in practice. It powers devices ranging from MRI machines to ...

Intrinsic uncertainty was central to the way German physicist Werner Heisenberg, one of the originators of modern quantum mechanics, presented the theory.

The principle, described by physicist Werner Heisenberg nearly a century ago, states that the mere act of measuring the position of a particle, such as an electron, necessarily disturbs its momentum.

Nature survey shows that disagreement about the meaning of quantum physics remains strong, even 100 years in. And that’s OK.

In this episode of Physics World Stories, writer Kevlin Henney discusses his new flash fiction, Heisenberg (not) in Helgoland – written exclusively for Physics World as part of the International Year ...
