Why do some changes in nature unfold gradually, while others occur in the blink of an eye? Rust forming on metal is a slow, ...

Quantum immortality is a controversial and fascinating concept that emerges from the interpretations of quantum mechanics, ...

We have discovered legions of strange particles that seem to only have a ghostly existence inside materials. Even so, they are the basis of much modern technology - so are they actually real?

What are quantum particles doing before we measure them? Getting to grips with this century-old debate takes us to the heart of whether there is an objective reality ...

But there’s potential for those effects to be explained by a concept called an electron spin superposition. The quantum property of spin makes an electron act like a tiny magnet.

In quantum mechanics, there is a concept called superposition. This means that, at the smallest scales, things can exist in multiple states at once.

Quantum mechanics is tricky for even clever folk to understand, but for today’s Doodle, Google is attempting to illustrate one of its core concepts with what’s hopefully a familiar demonstration.

Superposition is a concept from quantum mechanics: for example, an electron can exist as a superposition, or probability, of multiple locations. You can also think of superposition like a coin ...

In science, the word coherence takes on more specific, mathematical definitions, but they all get at a similar concept: Something is coherent if it can be understood, if it forms a unified whole ...
