PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — New research by physicists from Brown University puts the profound strangeness of quantum mechanics in a nutshell — or, more accurately, in a helium bubble.

Many natural processes, ranging from magnetism to chemical reactions, entail the movement and rotation of particles at very ...

The early 20 th century saw the advent of quantum mechanics to describe the properties of small particles, such as electrons or atoms. Schrödinger's equation in quantum mechanics can successfully ...

Physicists have proposed a way to extract the internal quantum states of electron wave packets by analyzing how those packets scatter off atoms. The approach, grounded in theoretical derivations ...
