In a new publication in Nature Materials, an international team of researchers has developed groundbreaking artificial chains ...

Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.

Empa researchers from the nanotech@surfaces laboratory have experimentally recreated two fundamental quantum physics models originally inspired b ...

Researchers at Empa have taken a significant step toward practical quantum computing by creating and manipulating Heisenberg ...

Physics has a problem – their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, the German Research Foundation is ...

In 1926 Heisenberg joined Bohr at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen. This turned out to be one of the most productive periods in Heisenberg's life. In 1927 he was puzzling over ...

Phase transitions, like water freezing into ice, are a familiar part of our world. But in quantum systems, they can behave ...

The two scientists worked closely on theoretical investigations into quantum theory and the nature of physics. Bohr was away on a skiing holiday, and Heisenberg was left to mull things over himself.

Today, physicists are still asking themselves whether quantum mechanics needs hypercomplex numbers. FAU researchers Ece Ipek ...

Heisenberg, Max Born and Pascual Jordan ... that they describe the same physics? Contributing to the discussion, Slobodan Perovic argues that providing a fully fledged general proof was ...

Astrophysics will enter the laboratory in laser-plasma experiments that probe the physics of planetary interiors or the dynamics of supernova shocks. Heisenberg and Euler could see this milestone ...
