Quantum mechanics has always had a way of making even the sharpest minds stop and scratch their heads. In the everyday world, you expect objects to follow straightforward rules. A ball thrown into the ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics has challenged our established notions of physics. At its core are questions that unsettle our understanding of the universe: when does a quantum particle ...

Convention has it that quantum mechanics and thermodynamics cannot be true simultaneously – so say scientists at the University of Twente (“UT”), The Netherlands. But now, in a new journal paper, UT ...

Theoretical physicists have proposed a new solution to the Schrödinger's cat paradox, which may allow the theories of quantum mechanics and Einstein's relativity to live in better harmony. The bizarre ...

A new Swinburne study is addressing a core paradox: if quantum computing is solving problems that cannot be checked by conventional methods, how can we be certain the results are correct? Quantum ...

Fundamental physics faces a stubborn paradox: the current impossibility of reconciling the rules of the quantum world with ...

In late 2025, rumors of US government equity stakes in quantum firms triggered double-digit rallies. The WisdomTree Quantum Computing Fund (WQTM) captures this high-conviction theme.

Let me tell you about my book "Fields and Their Quanta: Making Sense of Quantum Foundations," published last year by Springer. It's technical, but I'll describe it in English. Scientists agree the ...
