Artificial intelligence software is designing novel experimental protocols that improve upon the work of human physicists, although the humans are still “doing a lot of baby-sitting.”
The reference frames from which observers view quantum events can themselves have multiple possible locations at once—an insight with potentially major ramifications.
A weird thought experiment has shaken up the world of quantum physics by calling into question our assumptions about how the world works.
After researchers found a loophole in a famous experiment designed to prove that quantum objects don’t have intrinsic properties, three experimental groups quickly sewed the loophole shut.
