Erwin Schrödinger came up with the theory of wave mechanics about a year later. Those uncomfortable with Heisenberg's system jumped on the wave mechanics side. The conflict between the theories ...

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle tells us that it is impossible to simultaneously measure the position and momentum of a particle with infinite precision. In our everyday lives we virtually ...

From even better to still better quantum tools, a rising helix of creativity will catalyse new dreams and forge new realities ...

Already Schrödinger was considering the relation between his own theory and the quantum mechanics of Heisenberg, Born and Jordan. In 1926, in a paper originally published in Annalen der Physik ...

Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, a cornerstone of quantum theory, says it’s impossible to simultaneously measure a particle’s exact position and its speed—pretty important information ...

Standard quantum theory as developed by the likes of Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg in the 1920s is fine for describing the workings of individual particles in isolation and at slow speeds.

In 1927, Werner Heisenberg was in Denmark working at Niels Bohr's research institute in Copenhagen. The two scientists worked closely on theoretical investigations into quantum theory and the ...

One of the most significant events in the International Year of Quantum of Science and Technology is a workshop being held in ...
