Physicist Sean Carroll explores some of the deepest mysteries in quantum mechanics: the famous double-slit experiment, wave ...

We report systematic numerical simulations of the collision of a bright matter-wave soliton made of Bose-condensed alkali-metal atoms through a narrow potential barrier by using the three-dimensional ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when reading this story: Scientists are unsure what drives wave function collapse in the quantum world, but according to some radical theories, gravity may play a role.

There is a widespread misconception that human consciousness is responsible for the collapse of the wave function as exemplified in Andrew Smyth’s comment: “once an observer consciously knows which ...

Scientists are unsure what drives wave function collapse in the quantum world, but according to some radical theories, gravity may play a role. Scientists determined that if those theories are true, ...
