Recent progress on both analog and digital simulations of quantum fields foreshadows a future in which quantum computers ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Many theories are rock-solid: Scientists have just as much confidence in the theories of relativity, quantum mechanics, ...

For centuries, the concept of consciousness has intrigued philosophers and scientists alike. Often deemed too abstract for ...

Everyone has their favourite example of a trick that reliably gets a certain job done, even if they don’t really understand why. Back in the day, it might have been slapping the top of your television ...

World’s Fastest Electron Microscope, Quantum Consciousness and the Origin of Life Host Erika Hamden explores quantum mysteries. We visit a University of Arizona lab where the world’s fastest electron ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

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.

A new study addresses a foundational problem in the theory of driven quantum matter by extending the Středa formula to ...

Scientists have long sought evidence to refute string theory, but a new test seeks to disprove key aspects with help from the Large Hadron Collider.
