One of the most fundamental interactions in physics is that of electrons and light. In an experiment, scientists have now managed to observe what is known as the Kapitza-Dirac effect for the first ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...
