In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle dictates that the position and speed of an object cannot both be known fully precisely at the same time. Researchers now show that two ...

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 ...

I like to believe that we embody the names we are given. And since my name is Joyful, I’ve always defaulted to this mental state even in periods of uncertainty. People have repeatedly commented that ...

Physicists have measured both the momentum and position of a particle without breaking Heisenberg’s iconic uncertainty principle. In quantum mechanics, particles don’t have fixed properties the way ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment, researchers have captured quantum uncertainty in real time using ultrafast pulses of light. Nearly a century after Werner Heisenberg proposed the uncertainty ...

The experiment Linköping University’s Joakim Argillander and Daniel Spegel-Lexne were part of the team that investigated the relationship between quantum uncertainty and wave–particle duality.
