Quantum mechanics remains a cornerstone of modern physics, and its extension to systems with a position-dependent mass (PDM) has emerged as a vibrant area of research. In conventional quantum ...

Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics to more quickly solve problems that are too complex for non-quantum, i.e., classical, computers. This rapidly emerging technology can be applied to a number of ...

Quantum mechanics, the theory which rules the microworld of atoms and particles, certainly has the X factor. Unlike many other areas of physics, it is bizarre and counter-intuitive, which makes it ...

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three quantum scientists. How important was their work to quantum research? Klaus Ensslin: Experiments conducted by these three researchers forty ...

Quantum computing has long held promise as the next era in information processing, with applications in drug discovery, finance, and encryption. But it’s only in recent years that the technology has ...

There are nearly 90 quantum-focused academic programs across the U.S. from the bachelor's to the postdoctoral level. They fall in the following disciplines: interdisciplinary (43%), physics (27%), ...

Imagine a physicist observing a quantum system whose behavior is akin to a coin toss: it could come up heads or tails. They perform the quantum coin toss and see heads. Could they be certain that ...
