What does the passage of time look like for a truly quantum object? The world’s best clocks may soon be able to answer this question, testing how time can stretch and shift in the quantum realm and ...

Would it be possible to control and even reverse the flow of time in a laboratory setting? While taking a trip back through ...

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a superposition of ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

When humans think about time, most imagine a steady flow of seconds ticking into minutes and minutes into hours which carry us from past to present to future. But in the science of quantum physics, ...

Scientists have, for the first time, experimentally proven that angular momentum is conserved even when a single photon splits into two, pushing quantum physics to its most fundamental limits. Using ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Physicists uncover a universal limit on timekeeping precision, proving that anything from heartbeats to ocean waves can be a ...

Quantum computing is challenging everything we thought we knew about technology, time, and even human consciousness. Some scientists theorize that some of the ways quantum computers process ...
