Tom’s Top 10 interpretations of quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics has given birth to dozens of interpretations, which themselves need interpretations.
- Particle Physics
Single-pole magnet emerges in frozen concoction
An experiment has simulated the long-sought magnetic particle.
- Quantum Physics
Atomic clock sets world records for precision, stability
The strontium atomic clock is about 50 percent more precise than the previous record holder made of a single charged aluminum atom and rivals the ytterbium atomic clock for the title of most stable.
- Quantum Physics
Gell-Mann, Hartle spin a quantum narrative about reality
The “consistent histories” approach to quantum physics removes any role for people in creating “quasiclassical” reality.
- Quantum Physics
‘QBists’ tackle quantum problems by adding a subjective aspect to science
Advocates of a program called “Quantum Bayesianism” take a subjective approach to resolving the paradoxes of quantum physics.
- Particle Physics
Electrons’ roundness frustrates researchers
Experiment finds no signs of asymmetry, which would point to undiscovered particles.
- Quantum Physics
Quantum information storage that lasts and lasts
Physicists have stored a snippet of quantum information at room temperature for more than 1,000 times the previous record.
- Physics
Single atoms hold on to information
Minutes-long data storage by individual atoms beats previous record of tiny fraction of a second.
- Quantum Physics
Electron makes ultracold atoms move as one
Harnessing the strong particle-gas interaction is early step toward quantum optics applications.
- Quantum Physics
Single electron caught in action
Researchers have found a way to isolate the behavior of one particle.
- Quantum Physics
Heisenberg’s instinct was accurate
Scientists develop mathematical proof of quantum physics feature first suggested more than 80 years ago.
- Physics
New limit placed on physics constant
An analysis of how much the fine structure constant varies with the density of matter may help scientists determine whether the parameter changes with time.
