Quantum mechanics aesthetic

The three Titans of quantum mechanics: (L-R) Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger at the Stockholm Railway Station, c. 1933.

Chandra - along with ESO's Very Large Telescope Array - spied a bright, variable supernova blast located in a galaxy 12 million light-years away. This image is a composite showing the central region of the galaxy in question, which is typically referred to as the Circinus galaxy. In the lower right hand […]

We identify an experimental method which could finally reveal whether objects much larger than atoms - such as humans or animals - can exist in several places at once.

The measurement problem in quantum mechanics is the problem of how (or whether) wave function collapse occurs. The inability to observe such a collapse directly has given rise to different interpretations of quantum mechanics and poses a key set of questions that each interpretation must answer.
