A strange kind of geometry governs how particles move inside matter. Now, for the first time, physicists have uncovered its ...

Bessel Function: A solution to Bessel’s differential equation, these functions commonly arise in problems exhibiting cylindrical symmetry in quantum and wave physics.

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

One example is a wave in shallow water. Though governed by classical hydrodynamics, shallow water waves can have waveforms ...

Quantum entanglement, a bewildering phenomenon where particles become interconnected regardless of the distance separating them, challenges our fundamental understanding of reality. It has puzzled ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and ...

LLMs and the Quantum Superposition of Meaning This brings us to an interesting and very conceptual analogy rooted in quantum mechanics: the concept of wave function collapse.

A new imaging technique, which captured frozen lithium atoms transforming into quantum waves, could be used to probe some of the most poorly understood aspects of the quantum world.

For a century, quantum theory has passed every experimental test, but physicists can’t agree on how to use it to paint a ...

Such advances offer robust methodologies for tackling complex quantum systems and underscore the intimate connection between quantum mechanics and the theory of special functions.
