Quantum mechanics is simultaneously our most powerful and weirdest scientific theory. It’s powerful because it offers exquisite control over the nanoworld of molecular, atomic, and subatomic phenomena. It’s weird because, while we have a complete mathematical formalism, we physicists have been arguing for more than a century over what that formalism means. In other words, unlike other physical theories, the mathematics of quantum mechanics has no clear interpretation. That means physicists and...

EPFL researchers have developed the first comprehensive model of the quantum-mechanical effects behind photoluminescence in thin gold films; a discovery that could drive the development of solar fuels and batteries.
Former Pakistan men's team's director Mohammad Hafeez has revealed the reason behind tweeting 'RIP Pakistan domestic cricket' after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the T20I squad to face New Zealand. Hafeez opined that the selection decisions rendered domestic cricket completely futile.The PCB gave a maiden call-up to Usman Khan, who finished PSL 9 as the second-highest run-getter.

Britain's biggest prison, HMP Berwyn in North Wales, opened its doors in 2017 and has acquired a reputation as the epicentre of a sex scandal engulfing the Prison Service.
In the quantum world, processes can be separated into two distinct classes. One class, that of the so-called "perturbative" phenomena, is relatively easy to detect, both in an experiment and in a mathematical computation. Examples are plentiful: the light that atoms emit, the energy that solar cells produce, the states of qubits in a quantum computer.
Cryptographers are scrambling to understand an algorithm that could undermine the mathematics behind next-generation encryption methods, which are intended to protect against quantum computers
