Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

Classical Mechanics on Earth! 🌍⚽ In this video, we’ll explore how the Coriolis force affects the trajectory of a kicked ball, particularly in the context of classical mechanics on Earth. Learn how ...

Almost exactly 200 years ago, French physicist Sadi Carnot determined the maximum efficiency of heat engines. The Carnot ...

Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is ...

Thinking outside the canon, and finding the gritty and the beautiful, within it. By Joshua Barone and Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim JOSHUA BARONE Few art forms are as burdened by canons as classical ...

Performances in N.Y.C. Advertisement Supported by A holiday album that cuts through seasonal glut, a late collaboration by Jim McNeely and Helmut Lachenmann’s string quartets are among the highlights.

Quantum mechanics can simulate a classical system evolving in (and towards) thermal equilibrium. This finding adds a further ingredient to the story of what problems a computer — classical or quantum ...

Quantum particles have a social life, of a sort. They interact and form relationships with each other, and one of the most important features of a quantum particle is whether it is an introvert—a ...

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...
