An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Quantum physics keeps challenging our intuition. Researchers have shown that joint measurements can be carried out on distant particles, without the need to bring them together. This breakthrough ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in probabilities and the other in smooth curves of spacetime. A new line of work argues ...
