Physicists have built a real-number version of quantum mechanics that makes all the same predictions as the standard theory, ...

Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have examined a fundamental property of quantum mechanics in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR). In an article published in ...

Physicists construct theories to describe nature. Let us explain it through an analogy with something that we can do in our everyday life, like going on a hike in the mountains. To avoid getting lost, ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

Quantum physics is the most successful scientific theory ever devised. It powers semiconductors, lasers, and MRI machines. Yet a bold new argument from Oxford physicist Tim Palmer says quantum physics ...

THE new quantum mechanics predicts 1 that both the rotational and vibrational quantum numbers in band spectra should have half-integral values. Numerous examples of half-integral rotational quantum ...

An international team of researchers shows through a concrete theoretical experiment that the prediction by standard complex quantum theory cannot be expressed by its real counterpart and ratifies its ...
