Record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle.
The world of quantum mechanics, where particles can be in two places at once or entangled with each other across vast distances, sounds spooky to us living in the macroscopic world of classical ...
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; ...
Superposition on a massive scale: illustration of a mass-quantized black hole that was created using NightCafe Creator AI. (Courtesy: University of Queensland) Quantum superposition is not just a ...
Interrelated Superposition and entanglement can be observed independently of the theoretical framework used to explain them. (Courtesy: iStock_Traffic-Analyzer) When a forest loses its trees, it also ...
Applying the superposition principle to a photon's motion can lead it in two different directions at the same time. If a different order of operations is applied in each path, this can be used to ...
