In a paper published this week in the journal Physical Review Letters, MIT researchers propose an experiment that may close the last major loophole of Bell's inequality—a 50-year-old theorem that, if ...

Einstein said that the wave function does not describe the physical state of a single object, but the possible states of an ensemble. He also said that quantum mechanics is not complete; there must be ...

Quantum mechanics is a weird thing. It says that we can never really know all there is about reality. If we measure a particle, we can't know its exact momentum and position at the same time. If we ...

Quantum theory predicts the existence of so-called tripartite-entangled states, in which three quantum particles are related in a way that has no counterpart in classical physics. Theoretical ...

Astronomers propose an experiment that may close the last major loophole of Bell's inequality -- a 50-year-old theorem that, if violated by experiments, would mean that our universe is based not on ...

It may contain inaccuracies due to the limitations of machine translation. “Einstein, I'm ashamed of you. You are arguing against the new quantum theory just as your opponents argue about relativity ...

In a paper published this week in the journal Physical Review Letters [preprint: http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.3288], MIT researchers propose an experiment that may close ...
