Scientists have proposed a new kind of subatomic particle to explain another particle’s mysterious disintegration. What just ...

Tricking the uncertainty principle: New measurement technique goes beyond the limits imposed by quantum physics Date: May 16, 2014 Source: California Institute of Technology Summary: Today, we can ...

Two precision experiments disagree on how long neutrons live before decaying. Does the discrepancy reflect measurement errors or point to some deeper mystery?

Although errors in data or theory may have caused the discrepancy, instead of a new particle, an improved LHC would prove a boon for several projects on the cutting edge of physics. The Standard Model ...

I got to thinking that the growing interest in building quantum computers and other information systems has put a practical spin on the measurement problem. The “problem” the open question of how (or ...

The Muon g-2 Collaboration has doubled the precision of their 2021 measurement of the muon’s magnetic moment and it disagrees with the predictions based on the standard model of physics. Muons are ...

An international research team led by Robert Ott and Hannes Pichler has developed a novel architecture for quantum processors that is specifically designed for simulating fermions—particles such as ...

Above, you can see an illustration of a great many measurements — from different methods, experiments and data sets — of the present rate at which the Universe is expanding.
