Researchers at the University of Basel have shown that quantum systems can have antagonistic interactions, too—one agent attracts the other, but the other way around, there is a repulsion. Such ...

Recently, Professor Jianda Wu’s research team from the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in collaboration with Professor Jie Ma from the School of Physics and Astronomy and ...

Quantum mechanics is underpinned by a variety of models that elucidate the interplay between particles and potentials. Among these, point interactions – often mathematically represented by Dirac delta ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Quantum mechanics has a way of sounding like pure philosophy until an experiment forces it into everyday language. In 2025, ...
