Yunger Halpern’s 2022 book, Quantum Steampunk: The Physics of Yesterday’s Tomorrow, drew public attention to the field. She’s also a science blogger at the website Quantum Frontiers.

But quantum physics won't allow such a thing as zero energy (because of the Uncertainty Principle). Instead, the system has non-zero "ground state" energy with the electron bouncing back and forth ...

Superfluidity is a quantum phenomenon, related to the formation of Bose-Einstein Condensation, where the matter waves associated with the individual helium atoms begin to overlap and the entire ...

Most students in the U.S. don’t learn about quantum in school. Matsler, who taught high school and university physics for over 30 years, thinks this is a mistake.

Physics We might only see time because we can’t think in quantum physics By Leah Crane 24 July 2018 A glass is much easier to smash than to unsmash Sohl/Getty ...

A commemorative survey of quantum physicists revealed a lack of consensus on how best to interpret the strangeness of the quantum world. Credit: NSF/Daniel M. Harris, John W.M. Bush In July 1925 ...

The Stone Age. The Bronze Age. The Iron Age. The Industrial Revolution. Eras tend to be defined by their technology, and humans may be headed for a new one: the Quantum Age. As the Digital Revolution ...

Space Reality guide: Six problems physics can't explain From the dark energy ripping the cosmos apart to the part consciousness plays in creating reality, quantum physics and cosmology retain many ...

This quantum correction leads to a new recipe for making black holes and a hint at the path to quantum gravity and a unification of the two dominant theories of physics.

1. The quantum world is lumpy (Image credit: getty) The quantum world has a lot in common with shoes. You can’t just go to a shop and pick out sneakers that are an exact match for your feet.

These analog quantum simulators are designed to solve problems that even the fastest, most efficient digital quantum computers can’t. But we aren’t talking about room-sized computers like you ...
