The many worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics, proposed by Hugh Everett in 1957, posits that reality consists of multiple worlds where every possible quantum outcome occurs. This contrasts ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

What is reality? Why does everything appear fragmented and separate if it is one and made of energy? Why do we each perceive it differently? For millennia, across cultures and civilisations, sages and ...

Our world seems to be fundamentally fuzzy at the quantum level, yet we do not experience it that way. Researchers have now developed a recipe for measuring how quickly the objective reality that we do ...

Ask a bunch of physicists to explain a quantum experiment and you’re unlikely to get the same description twice. Everyone agrees that the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics is peerless at ...

Maria Violaris works on quantum foundations as an academic visitor at the University of Oxford, UK, and on quantum computing at Oxford Quantum Circuits, Reading, UK. Norma G. Sanchez, is the founder ...

Scientists have finally unlocked a way to identify the elusive W state of quantum entanglement, solving a decades-old problem and opening paths to quantum teleportation and advanced quantum ...

In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...
