The reference frames from which observers view quantum events can themselves have multiple possible locations at once — an ...

A central tenet of quantum physics is that energy comes in indivisible packets called quanta. Quanta behave very differently to macroscopic matter: particles can behave like waves, and waves ...

A decade after the discovery of the “amplituhedron,” physicists have excavated more of the timeless geometry underlying the ...

the quanta of light. So, like the fictional Baron Munchausen who lifted himself out of a swamp by pulling on his own hair, physics is self-sustaining — it can use itself to produce new fundamental ...

He unintentionally triggered a revolution in physics through his findings. A black body completely absorbs all electromagnetic ... the Boltzmann method and introduced “energy elements” of a specific ...

The 'cargo' might be colloidal particles in suspensions, fluids inside microfluidic pipes, quanta of electricity (electrons), or quanta of magnetic flux (superconducting vortices). A classic ...

For a wide variety of emerging quantum technologies, such as secure quantum communications and quantum computing, quantum ...

That’s the other side. Can you use one to help investigate the other? Joining me now to help grapple with those questions is Charlie Wood. He’s a staff writer covering physics for Quanta Magazine ...

At 100, the impact of Bose-Einstein Statistics extends beyond physics to fields like cosmology and condensed matter science ...

These were laws of physics that perfectly described how light ... but perhaps could exist with only specific amounts, or "quanta," of energy. Planck didn't really believe this was true about ...

Find out how a black body experiment led to Max Planck's revolutionary concept of 'quanta,' transforming our understanding of physics. James Millen, Experimental quantum scientist, King's College ...

and Niels Bohr's later work on quanta of matter, Einstein's work anchors the most shocking idea in 20th-century physics: we live in a quantum universe, one built out of tiny, discrete chunks of ...
