Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Predicting the behavior of many interacting quantum particles is a complicated process but is key to harness quantum computing for real-world applications. Researchers have developed a method for ...

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

At first glance, quantum mechanics might seem strange or even impossible. That’s because our everyday experiences of the laws of physics are very different from how matter and energy behave at the ...
