Quantum nano-mechanics. Quantum jumps in atomic physics. Continuous transitions between quantum states in quantum‒classical mechanics for molecular and chemical physics involve both chaotic (dozy ...

Editor’s Note: Professor WERNER HEISENBERG, who was born in Duisburg in 1901, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for his work on the quantum theory. A member of the faculty of the ...

Looks like we’re closer than ever to connecting general relativity and quantum mechanics. A new study suggests that when we break down spacetime into tiny discrete units, gravity, which is a ...

Studying the complete spectrum of the General Theory of Relativity and beyond: from the vast dimensions of the universe down to the incredibly tiny dimensions of strings - in Potsdam-Golm.

Modern physics, and particularly the quantum theory — the discovery of Max Planck, the centennial of whose birth was celebrated last year —has raised a series of very general questions, dealing not ...
