Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in ...

Upcoming experimental tests of gravity’s quantumness aim to resolve one of the biggest questions in physics, but theorists ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

This balance—neurons as the silent bee workers, waves as the queen’s rhythm holding the hive together—suggests consciousness ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Unfortunately, any work you do in the universe will have to be done the old-fashioned way. There may be an infinite amount of energy locked in the vacuum of space-time. So could we ever harness this ...

A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) provides a comprehensive framework for describing the fundamental interactions of matter and radiation. In the context of atom‐field interactions, QFT elucidates how atoms ...

Researchers in Vienna have discovered something remarkable: crystals that don’t form in space, like diamonds or salt, but in time ... of quantum mechanics. Phase diagram in the thermodynamic limit for ...

Google says its quantum computer achieved a verifiable calculation that classic computers cannot. The work could point to future applications.

While the age of quantum computers—machines capable of solving problems better than even the best supercomputers—is not yet ...
