Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics by Frank Verstraete & Céline Broeckaert, 2025
In Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics, a husband-and-wife duo demystifies this essential branch of science. He, Frank Verstraete, one of the world’s leading physicists, peels back layers of the quantum world with unparalleled insights into the latest research.
“It Sounds Impossible, but They Did It”: Students Develop New Tech to Power 3D Holograms Using Quantum Entanglement
I tried to categorise and shelf this new book today, but every time I looked at it, it changed.
(What do you mean, #FridayPhysicsPuns aren't a thing?? They are now! Except when they're not, of course)
No cats, waves, or particles were harmed in the making of this pun.

Anyons are quasiparticles that differ from the familiar fermions and boson.
Scientists led by Hanns-Christoph Nägerl have observed anyons in a one-dimensional quantum system for the first time.
The results, published in Nature, may contribute to a better understanding of quantum matter and its potential applications.

This new particle is so small it makes an atom look enormous.

Two very different, but both IMO interesting, essays in Aeon.
Dance your PhD!
Science communication can be a lot of fun — as recently demonstrated by our grad student Arfor Houwman, who produced a short dance video to explain his PhD topic in #QuantumPhysics. He even won an international award by AAAS and @SciMag for the clip (category #Physics) , so we highly recommend checking it out!
All we've gotta say is: lasers, lasers, lasers - LASERS!
Schrödinger's Rabbits: The Many Worlds of Quantum by Colin Bruce
"Bruce's witty, fast-paced account of current controversies in quantum physics will keep you on the edge of your seat. An eloquent introduction to one of the deepest mysteries in modern science." -- Paul Halpern, author of The Great Beyond: Higher Dimensions, Parallel Universes and the Extraordinary Search for a Theory of Everything

Can particles really be in two places at once?
Quantum superposition says yes — and researchers proved it with molecules 10,000x heavier than an electron!
Could superposition someday transform everyday tech?

Happy Birthday, Max Planck!
Today we celebrate the birthday of #MaxPlanck (1858–1947), who laid the foundation of #QuantumPhysics. His discovery that energy is exchanged in discrete packets – quanta – revolutionized science. In 2025, we celebrate 100 years of quantum physics and its impact on technology and our understanding of the universe. It is a field that paved the way for technologies like quantum communication and quantum computing.
