The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving ...

The fuzzy quantum shape that describes the speed or location of a single particle, its wave function, has now been directly measured in the laboratory, giving this mathematical concept a small dose of ...

In 1931, Harvey Elliott White developed a device that traced out the shapes of electron clouds by approximating solutions to ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years from the formulation of Schroedinger’s equation!

Learn more about quantum mechanics in this video. There are some pretty out-there explanations for the processes at work behind the incredibly successful mathematics of quantum mechanics - things are ...
