Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two pinnacles of 20th-century physics. In their respective fields, ...

For more than a century, physicists have been trying to reconcile the smooth geometry of gravity with the jittery ...

Natalie Paquette spends her time thinking about how to grow an extra dimension. Start with little circles, scattered across every point in space and time—a curlicue dimension, looped back onto itself.

Yet it is not regarded as absurd today. After exhaustive proofs of entanglement's authenticity in the real world, it is now the key resource in quantum information theory, allowing quantum ...
