An entrepreneur looking to grow his business probably wouldn't think to pick the brain of an early 20th-century physicist and pioneer of quantum mechanics. But marketing experts have applied the work ...

For almost a century, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has stood as one of the defining ideas of quantum physics: a particle's position and momentum cannot be known at the same time with absolute ...

Calculations show that injecting randomness into a quantum neural network could help it determine properties of quantum ...

Quantum particles are not really just particles…they are also waves. The word uncertainty is used a lot in quantum mechanics. One school of thought is that this means there's something out there in ...

State-of-the-art sensors, such as MRIs and atomic clocks, are capable of making measurements with exquisite precision. MRI is used to image tissues deep within the human body and tells us whether we ...

NPR's Ari Shapiro recently began a report about the expected flood of lawyers in post-election Florida by stating: In quantum physics, there's a theory called Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. It ...

For centuries, scientific progress has depended on more precise tools for measuring the world around us. Galileo’s telescope revealed Jupiter’s moons and shook the geocentric universe. Thomas Young’s ...

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle says that we cannot know both the position and the momentum of a particle at once Imagine driving a car fitted with a GPS navigation system that glitches every ...
