The discovery promises to spark a revolution in physics, but more results and a resolution of controversies in the theory are needed to know for sure.

Roger Penrose proposes a conscious observer doesn’t cause wave function collapse. A conscious observer is caused by wave function collapse.

A closer look at the deep and subtle idea that's at the heart of Giorgio Parisi's work, and why it deserves at least half of a Nobel Prize.

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of physics.

By proving how individual molecules create the complex motion of fluids, three mathematicians have illuminated why time can’t flow in reverse.

The new book, Women in the History of Quantum Physics, spotlights the oft-forgotten contributions of women scientists in the field.

A particle is thus a collapsed wave function. But what in the world does that mean? Wave function collapse, called decoherence, is much better understood than suggested in this article. Wojciech Zurek ...

The first direct visualization of the shape of a photon has been created. These particles of light are impossible to photograph, but UK physicists have now calculated their wave function to ...
