One such state, first proposed by Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner, is the Wigner crystal—a structured electron arrangement caused by their mutual repulsion. Although widely theorized, experimental ...

Quantum mystery In 1961 Eugene Wigner imagined a friend doing an experiment in a lab while he waits outside. The paradox is that Wigner and the friend predict different outcomes, yet both are right.

However, the currently used resonators come with a big limitation. They continuously lose energy and need a constant power ...

The phase is named after Eugene Wigner, who predicted in 1934 that electrons would crystallize in a lattice when certain interactions between them are strong enough.

The new study comes from the idea brought to the forefront in Eugene Wigner's friend scenario, which states that two people could see the same photon, or light particle, ...

One of the most difficult and deepest of these is a thought experiment proposed by Eugene Wigner in the 1960s, called "Wigner’s friend" (you don’t want to be Wigner’s friend).

If you’ve ever questioned the nature of your reality, a new study suggests that there are actually two different versions of it — at least at the quantum level. The pre-published study, found… ...

In 1959, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Eugene Wigner took a run at the topic. Three centuries earlier, Galileo was characteristically eloquent when he said, “Mathematics is the language in which ...
