Pioneering female Chinese-American physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, who worked with Robert Oppenheimer on the Manhattan Project, was also the first to confirm quantum entanglement – just 14 years ...

Chien-Shiung Wu's trailblazing but largely forgotten achievement features in a recent profile of the influential physicist Pioneering female Chinese-American physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, who worked with ...

so the question immediately arises about the reason for the successful explanation of the optical spectra of molecules by quantum mechanics using the Born‒Oppenheimer adiabatic approximation and ...

The American theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer examines the impact of quantum and atomic theory on the way societies view themselves and others in six Reith lectures.

Oppenheimer has a walk-on part in Quantum Drama, Jim Baggott and John L Heilbron’s account of that epic struggle. Here, he’s ...

Raman spectroscopy experiments show that the interaction between electrons and phonons in graphene resembles the Dirac fermion–photon coupling in quantum electrodynamics. In the early days of ...
