The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...

Quantum physics keeps challenging our intuition. Researchers have shown that joint measurements can be carried out on distant particles, without the need to bring them together. This breakthrough ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

Compared to scribbling mathematical expressions for entangled quantum states on a sheet of paper, producing real entanglement is a tricky task. In the lab, physicists can only claim a prepared quantum ...

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 ...

Quantum mechanics is a pillar of modern science and technology, and has benefited the human society for a century. The wave function, also known as the quantum state, is the description of a quantum ...

Synthese, Vol. 198, No. 7 (July 2021), pp. 6375-6402 (28 pages) Proposed derivations of the Born rule for Everettian theory are controversial. I argue that they are unnecessary but may provide ...
