The study of quantum dynamics in conjunction with nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) sits at the confluence of mathematical physics, quantum mechanics and nonlinear analysis. This field ...

Students learning quantum mechanics are taught the Schrodinger equation and how to solve it to obtain a wave function. But a crucial step is skipped because it has puzzled scientists since the ...

A new study probing quantum phenomena in neurons as they transmit messages in the brain could provide fresh insight into how our brains function. Our brains process information via a vast network ...

There’s a rift in reality—an invisible border that separates two utterly different realms. On one side lies our everyday world, where things obey commonsense rules: objects never occupy more than one ...

Quantum superpositions are typically fragile and fleeting, but one such state has now been maintained for a record-breaking 23 minutes. Keeping quantum states stable for this long could help make more ...

In a stunning breakthrough that challenges long-held assumptions in quantum physics, a team of researchers from the University of Innsbruck has managed to create a Schrödinger’s cat state at ...

When humans think about time, most imagine a steady flow of seconds ticking into minutes and minutes into hours which carry us from past to present to future. But in the science of quantum physics, ...

Physicists have struggled to understand the nature of time since the field began. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Time may not be ...

Errors in quantum computers are an obstacle for their widespread use. But a team of scientists say that, by using an antimony atom and the Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment, they could have found a ...
