Whether you’re laughing right now—or staring at your screen in confusion—hinges on how much you know about one of the foundational ideas in quantum physics: Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle.

In 2019, LIGO scientists turned to quantum “squeezing,” which, in effect, reduced uncertainty in the laser’s frequency and increased uncertainty in its intensity (SN: 2/15/19).

Nevertheless, while memes about Schrödinger’s Cat or Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle abound on social media, the physics ...

Researchers from Linköping University together with colleagues from Poland and Chile have confirmed a theory that proposes a ...
