Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...

A new unified theory connects two fundamental domains of modern quantum physics: It joins two opposite views of how a single ...

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a superposition of ...

For decades, physicists have struggled to reconcile the laws governing the very small with those that describe the vast cosmos. Quantum mechanics rules subatomic particles, while general relativity ...

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose consciousness under anesthesia.

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...

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.

Noncommutative Quantum Field Theory represents an ambitious extension of standard quantum field theory that incorporates a fundamental noncommutativity in the structure of spacetime. In these models, ...

This post is part 1 of a series. It is coauthored by Liane Gabora, Emmanuel Pothos, and Iana Bashmakova. There is a trend toward increased openness in science, and one aspect of this involves sharing ...
