In a stunning leap for quantum optics, scientists have generated ultrafast light pulses whose quantum uncertainty can be ...

Researchers have reimagined Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, engineering a trade-off that allows precise measurement of ...

A team of physicists say they have found a way to sidestep Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, one of the more troublesome ...

Quantum mechanics shows that particles in our universe do not have fixed properties like everyday objects. They exist in a state of superposition until a disturbance forces them to "choose" ...

An experiment conducted at the University of Toronto has thrown a fundamental aspect of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle into doubt. For decades, we’ve believed that you can’t measure a quantum ...

For centuries, scientific progress has depended on more precise tools for measuring the world around us. Galileo’s telescope ...

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 ...

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 ...

A group of scientists from LMU and the ETH in Zurich, including Professor Matthias Christandl, has now shown that position and momentum can be predicted more precisely than Heisenberg’s Uncertainty ...

In the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy, “Heisenberg, Werner” lies between “Heidegger, Martin” and “Hell.” That is precisely where he belongs. Heisenberg, one of the inventors of quantum mechanics ...
