Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of ...

Theoretical physicists are trying to understand how the many possibilities that exist in quantum physics can become 'real.' A new model developed by UC Davis researchers suggests that there may be ...

Physicists successfully teleport quantum information between photons from different sources, a key step towards a secure ...

People often say that quantum physics is weird because it doesn’t seem rational. But of course, if you think about it, quantum physics is actually perfectly rational, if you understand the math. It’s ...

THE powerful mathematical framework for understanding complex quantum operators is rooted in a field called “quantum harmonic analysis.” That’s a mouthful. These three words lumped in one phrase ...

The arrow of time is a staple of human perception. Every second of every minute of every hour of every day, you live it. If you spill a drink, you can’t reverse time and pull the liquid back into the ...

A proposed mathematical proof that outlines the way information behaves in coded messages may have implications for black holes. The proof suggests that the radiation spit out by black holes may ...

Over the past century, quantum field theory has proved to be the single most sweeping and successful physical theory ever invented. It is an umbrella term that encompasses many specific quantum field ...
