In 1927, Werner Heisenberg was in Denmark working at Niels Bohr's research institute in Copenhagen. The two scientists worked closely on theoretical investigations into quantum theory and the ...

Quantum field theory's vacuum concept challenges classical views, revealing a metastable state that influences cosmic ...

Werner Heisenberg’s seminal work on quantum theory, published in 1925, represented the dawn of a new era in physics ...

Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.

Erwin Schrödinger came up with the theory of wave mechanics about a year later. Those uncomfortable with Heisenberg's system jumped on the wave mechanics side. The conflict between the theories ...

To the chagrin of many physicists, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle determines that one cannot simultaneously know a signal's position and momentum, or voltage and current, with accuracy.

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 ...

But their ideas fell short of describing a complete theory. It was the German physicist Werner Heisenberg who, in 1925, first put forward a comprehensive version of quantum mechanics. Later that ...

While the opportunities for quantum computing in life sciences are immense, it faces major challenges that must be addressed.
