Quantum physics - New Scientist To begin with, there’s no single quantum theory There’s quantum mechanics , the basic mathematical framework that underpins it all, which was first developed in the 1920s by Niels Bohr
We may have found the edge of quantum theory – what’s beyond it? Quantum entanglement can link two objects even when they are separated by extremely large distances But a new study has found a limit at which such quantum correlations stop – and surprisingly
What is quantum mechanics? - New Scientist Quantum mechanics is the best tool we have to understand how the universe works on its smallest scales Everything we can see around us, from far-off galaxies to our own bodies, is made up of
What is quantum field theory? - New Scientist Quantum chromodynamics (QCD), meanwhile, is the theory of the strong nuclear force Transmitted by bosons called gluons, this strong, very short-range force binds quarks together to make particles
Reality guide: The essential laws of quantum physics Quantum physics is our basic theory of how particles and the forces that act on them work It is the foundation of the hugely successful standard model of particle physics – the most
What is Schrodingers cat? - New Scientist Devised in 1935 by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, this thought experiment was designed to shine a spotlight on the difficulty with interpreting quantum theory Quantum theory is very
