Quantum mechanics continues to offer profound insights into the fundamental nature of matter and energy, and the use of special functions plays a critical role in obtaining exact analytical solutions ...

Trapping ultracold atoms with laser light let researchers magnify and then image the wave functions of atoms that were previously too close together to look like anything but a blob ...

Why is quantum mechanics important? We are used to seeing the world at the macroscopic level. Our eye does not perceive what is really there at its microscopic level, and (maybe) it is better that way ...

Nobel Prize winners showcase quantum tunnelling in macroscopic circuits, paving the way for quantum computing.

Irish physicist William Rowan Hamilton’s pioneering work contained hints of the enigmatic wave–particle duality that governs ...

Dr Peter Verheyen from the Sola Society examines whether quantum mechanics and information serve as the fundamental ...
