Superposition is nothing more than addition for waves. Let's say we have two sets of waves that overlap in space and time. At any given point, a trough may line up with a peak, their peaks may line up ...

Red and blue: a photon of two colours has been made. (Courtesy: iStock/-strizh-) Individual photons have been put into a quantum superposition of two different colours by a team of physicists in the ...

Without more details I suspect there are no double bonds, all the electrons are shared among all the atoms in a configuration that minimizes potential energy. Organic QM is not my thing ... and I ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. When I teach or give talks about relativity, one of my regular angles ...

Two different groups have tested a seemingly counter-intuitive property of the quantum world: That it’s possible to put a photon, a particle of light, in a superposition of states going forward and ...

The world of quantum mechanics, where particles can be in two places at once or entangled with each other across vast distances, sounds spooky to us living in the macroscopic world of classical ...
