Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

Picture Victorian London, but its skies are filled with airships. Steam-powered robots crowd the streets, mingling with people in top hats and petticoats. That type of retrofuturistic mash-up is the ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

Einstein and the Quantum Revolutions Alain Aspect Univ. Chicago Press (2024) French physicist Alain Aspect is a pioneer in ‘quantum entanglement’ — connections between the quantum properties of ...

Research led by scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it. While most physicists agree that human ...

I like to go running in my free time. I’m not an especially fast jogger, but I think I could keep up with a tortoise. According to Zeno of Elea, an ancient Greek scholar who lived around 450 B.C.E., ...

Quantum computing is slowly entering the mainstream, as more people discuss the technology and its potential within ...
