Enrique Rico Ortega and Sofia Vallecorsa explain how quantum computing will allow physicists to model complex dynamics, from black-hole evaporation to neutron-star interiors.
David Wallace argues for the ‘decoherent view’ of quantum mechanics, where at the fundamental level there is neither probability nor wavefunction collapse.
Carlo Rovelli describes the major schools of thought on how to make sense of a purely quantum world.
Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit their unparalleled precision at higher energies.
Kanta Dihal explores why quantum mechanics captures the imagination of writers – and how ‘quantum culture’ affects the public understanding of science.
The takeaway from Helgoland 2025 was that the foundations of quantum mechanics, though strongly built on Helgoland 100 years ago, remain open to interpretation.
Battle of the Big Bang provides an entertaining update on the collective obsessions and controlled schizophrenias in cosmology, writes Will Kinney.
