My new article, "Quantum Entanglement of Optical Photons: The First Experiment, 1964–67," is intended to convey the spirit of a small research project that reaches into uncharted territory. The ...
Gravity is the force with which we’re most familiar. It’s what’s keeping you on the planet, even as you’re reading this. Despite gravity feeling deeply intertwined with our daily lives, scientists are ...

You don’t create reality by looking at it – quantum physics is weirder than that
The observer effect is one of the most misunderstood ideas in quantum physics. People often hear it as proof that ...
When a beam of light passes through a cloud of atoms, photons (particles of light) sometimes appear to spend a negative amount of time there, with light seeming to exit the cloud before it even enters ...
A real mind-melter: Quantum mechanics is strange, but even for a field of science that regularly defies our conventional understanding of reality, the latest discovery is particularly baffling.
When Seth Lloyd first published his ideas about quantum time loops, he hadn’t considered all the consequences. For one thing, he hadn’t anticipated the countless emails he would get from would-be time ...
Does quantum physics place limits on the extent to which we have free will? This long-debated question stems from the way different physicists interpret the mathematics of quantum theory, but now ...
