The implications of quantum science are extraordinary, but sometimes intimidating. So “Chemistry 305: The Quantum World" takes a new tack: Teach the nuts and bolts of quantum mechanics until the ...

Quantum effects can play an important role in chemical reactions. Physicists have now observed a quantum mechanical tunneling reaction in experiments. The observation can also be described exactly ...

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually ...

Join Henry F. Schaefer III of the University of Georgia and Gary Patterson of Carnegie Mellon University as we celebrate a century of groundbreaking discoveries—including John Pople’s greatest papers, ...

He published his findings in a Soviet science journal 1981, and was the first person to intentionally create quantum dots—particles predicted by physics theory in the early 20th century but not ...

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single ...

Scientists published the Cascaded Variational Quantum Eigensolver (CVQE) algorithm in a recent article, expected to become a powerful tool to investigate the physical properties in electronic systems.

Quantum chemistry calculations offer the best combination of efficiency and accuracy for predicting molecular properties. But the complexity of density functional theory and other methods makes ...

Chemistry and physics are combining forces at Columbia, and it's leaving everyone frustrated—in a good way. New work, published in Nature Physics, describes a new two-dimensional material ...

Kostin was known for his commitment to teaching fundamental principles in a way that demanded excellence from his students ...
