I have long been fascinated by the strong attraction many people feel toward quantum field theory as a way to explain extraordinary experiences. As a psychiatrist interested in coincidences and the ...

There’s only a few days left in the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, but we’re still finding plenty to celebrate here at Physics World HQ thanks to a long list of groundbreaking ...

Over time, advances in quantum physics have revealed an increasingly complex and dynamic universe. Scientists have identified approximately 300 subatomic particles—many formed from a set of 12 ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics ...
