It's driving me nuts. Is the double bond constantly changing between all possibilities fast enough that it shortens the bond length for all, or are all the double bonds existing in all possible states ...

Record-breaking experiment shows that a cluster of thousands of atoms can act like a wave as well as a particle.

Quantum computers achieve a speed-up by placing quantum bits (qubits) in superpositions of different states. However, it has recently been appreciated that quantum mechanics also allows one to ...

Wouldn't it be fascinating to live in New York and London at the same time? In the standard of everyday life, this is equivalent to daydreaming or sheer fantasy. Nevertheless, this is a perfectly ...

Interrelated Superposition and entanglement can be observed independently of the theoretical framework used to explain them. (Courtesy: iStock_Traffic-Analyzer) When a forest loses its trees, it also ...

The neutrino detector in Minnesota. Physicists have verified a central tenet of quantum mechanics—that quantum particles can occupy a so-called superposition—using neutrinos separated by 450 miles, ...
