A team of physicists say they have found a way to sidestep Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, one of the more troublesome and irritating rules of our universe. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, for ...

Physicists have found a way to redistribute uncertainty in quantum measurements, paving the way for ultra-sensitive ...

For centuries, scientific progress has depended on more precise tools for measuring the world around us. Galileo’s telescope revealed Jupiter’s moons and shook the geocentric universe. Thomas Young’s ...

In a stunning leap for quantum optics, scientists have generated ultrafast light pulses whose quantum uncertainty can be ...

Quantum mechanics forbids us from measuring the universe. But we try with this principle. Quantum mechanics forbids us from measuring the universe beyond a certain level of precision. But that doesn’t ...

Quantum particles are not really just particles…they are also waves. The word uncertainty is used a lot in quantum mechanics. One school of thought is that this means there's something out there in ...

At first glance, a Nature Physics paper published online July 25 may have appeared to threaten the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which says that in the quantum world of electrons, photons and ...
