The prevailing assumption has been that Einstein's theory of gravity must be modified, or 'quantized', in order to fit within quantum theory. This is the approach of two leading candidates for a ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...

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.

Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Was there ever any choice in the Universe being as it is? Albert Einstein could have been wondering about this when he remarked to mathematician Ernst Strauss: “What I’m really interested in is ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical ...

Physicists have built a quantum gas that behaves nothing like the substances we are used to, and that is exactly why it is ...

A South Korean physicist has proposed a theoretical framework that could support the unification of quantum mechanics and the ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

Physicists talk about quantum physics, quantum mechanics, quantum entanglement, quantum computing but what if we could, by analogy, apply the quantum physics theory to our mind and talk about quantum ...
