In 1927, Oppenheimer published a paper called "On the Quantum Theory of Molecules" with his research adviser Max Born. This paper outlined what is commonly referred to as the Born-Oppenheimer ...

World War II-era quantum physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, seen here in an undated photo, is the subject of a new biopic. His story should provide inspiration to today's quantum computing researchers.

In Christopher Nolan's hit biopic "Oppenheimer," real-life Danish physicist Niels Bohr is more than just a major character. As depicted by Shakespearean actor Kenneth Branagh, he is a living ...

Christopher Nolan’s complex, vivid portrait of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the “father of the atomic bomb,” is a brilliant achievement in formal and conceptual terms.

Quantum science is both complex and weird. It's not easy to wrap your head around concepts such as entanglement, light existing as both a wave and a particle, or a cat in a box that is both alive ...

Oppenheimer, an epic of creation, destruction, hubris, and lots of heady talk, proceeds with the relentless logic of a chain reaction.If you wanted to be cute, you could say it moves in particles ...

When it comes to music, Christopher Nolan is as fixated and fanatical as J. Robert Oppenheimer was about quantum mechanics. For his new film about the father of the atomic bomb, Nolan connected ...

Mr. Bird is the director of the Leon Levy Center for Biography and co-author with the late Martin J. Sherwin of “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer.” One day ...

You have J. Robert Oppenheimer to thank for that, as a quantum chemist explains. Before he developed the atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer’s early work revolutionized the field of quantum ...
