Convention has it that quantum mechanics and thermodynamics cannot be true simultaneously – so say scientists at the University of Twente (“UT”), The Netherlands. But now, in a new journal paper, UT ...
A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum ...
That quantum mechanics is a successful theory is not in dispute. It makes astonishingly accurate predictions about the nature of the world at microscopic scales. What has been in dispute for nearly a ...
