Explore the key moments in the history of quantum theory, from the early ideas of Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg to ...

Bohr turned to Planck's quantum theory to explain the stability of most atoms. He found that the ratio of energy in electrons and the frequency of their orbits around the nucleus was equal to ...

The classical scientific theories by which we understand the world around us do not hold good at the subatomic level. There, ...

Quantum physics reshapes our view of time, not as a steady flow, but as unfolding possibilities shaped by probability—and ...

He attempted to explain with Maxwell’s theory of electrodynamics why the radiation in ... of the frequency under consideration and a constant h, today known as Planck’s quantum of action. Planck ...

A study published in Nature has established a new benchmark in modeling the universe's most extreme events: the collisions of ...

These are a fundamental system of units that can be constructed solely from the speed of light and the natural constants of ...

In contrast, quantum mechanics theory suggests that light particles ... ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics recently carried out a study exploring this contrast between ...

Light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, challenging traditional wave-particle thinking.

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics ... they realized that a first-principles elastic theory for bosonic quantum quasicrystals was still lacking, and they set out to develop ...
