Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Investopedia contributors come from a range of backgrounds, and over 25 years there have been thousands of expert writers and editors who have contributed. Doretha Clemons, Ph.D., MBA, PMP, has been a ...

Quantum computing is a revolutionary form of computing that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to perform calculations that would be infeasible or impossible for classical computers. Unlike ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

A teenager from Belgium has just vaulted from prodigy to pioneer, completing a PhD in quantum physics at 15 and immediately ...

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 ...

The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...

Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...
