Knowing the wave function of such a quantum system is a challenging task—this is also known as quantum state tomography or quantum tomography in short.

Weird science There's a long, long history of puzzled physicists showing that the wave function must be a bizarre object. Quantum entanglement is a direct result of the properties of the wave ...

It underpins the whole theory of quantum mechanics, but does it exist? For nearly a century physicists have argued about whether the wave function is a real part of the world or just a ...

This black hole merger animation was created using data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors, an observation designated GW190412.

There has long been a mystery when calculating how an incoming light wave scatters off an object and becomes a modified, outgoing light wave. In particular, the time delay of the transition from ...
