Quantum mechanics is a pillar of modern science and technology, and has benefited the human society for a century. The wave function, also known as the quantum state, is the description of a quantum ...

In recent years, physicists have been trying to better understand the behavior of individual quantum particles as they move in space. Yet directly imaging these particles with high precision has so ...

The first direct visualization of quantum dots in bilayer graphene shows the shape of the quantum wave function of the trapped electrons. (Image credit: Zhehao Ge, Frederic Joucken, and Jairo Velasco ...

The wave function—an abstract concept used to predict the behavior of quantum particles—is the bedrock on which physicists have built their understanding of quantum mechanics. But this bedrock itself ...
