Noncommutative quantum mechanics extends the conventional framework of quantum theory by postulating that spatial coordinates and momenta do not commute. This departure from classical concepts ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to a team of scientists based in the U.S. for their landmark discovery in quantum mechanics. John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were handed ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics.John Clarke, ...

The prevailing assumption has been that Einstein's theory of gravity must be modified, or 'quantized', in order to fit within quantum theory. This is the approach of two leading candidates for a ...
