Nobel prizewinner Alain Aspect’s ‘crackpot’ studies of quantum entanglement have explored the tricks reality plays on us — ...

Measuring disorder in the quantum realm is creating a bit of a mess. A mathematical study found that three different definitions of entropy that were previously thought to be equivalent don’t always ...

Rapid advances in applying artificial intelligence to simulations in physics and chemistry have some people questioning whether we will even need quantum computers at all.

Incoming President Donald Trump has a unique opportunity to reverse this trend and should act quickly in the first 100 days ...

While the prevailing consensus has been that Einstein's theory of gravity must be modified to fit within the framework of quantum theory, a new theory, coined as a "postquantum theory of classical ...

This entirely diagrammatic presentation of quantum theory represents the culmination of ten years of research, uniting classical techniques in linear algebra and Hilbert spaces with cutting-edge ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball ...

These were the laws of quantum mechanics ... For example, there is a theory by Werner Heisenberg called the Uncertainty Principle. It states that if a researcher wants to measure the speed ...

Quantum computing relies on quantum mechanics, a fundamental theory of physics that describes how the world works at the level of the atom and subatomic particles, to solve problems that ...

Nov. 6, 2024 — Supersolids are a new form of quantum matter that has only recently been demonstrated. The state of matter can be produced artificially in ultracold, dipolar quantum gases.

"Causality is central to how we make sense of the world, but it takes on different forms within two of our key physical theories: quantum theory and general relativity," V. Vilasini, co-author of ...
