MIT scientists use classical physics tools to explain quantum behavior of particles

The Blueprint

A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has bridged the gap between quantum and classical physics. This study shows that mathematical ideas from classical physics can be used to explain the strange and “spooky” behavior attributed to quantum particles. Despite the development of applications such as quantum computing and sensing, … Read more
