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

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve ...

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

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Teleology is the idea that some processes in nature are directed toward a goal or an end. Today, it is commonly asserted that teleology is a remnant of antiquated ways of thinking about causation, and ...

A recent groundbreaking experiment in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced some scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of ...

Quantum computing leverages qubits' unique properties to revolutionize computing power, driving transformative impacts across industries and shaping the future of technology. Pixabay, geralt Quantum ...

What if the impossible became routine? Imagine solving a problem so complex it would take a classical computer 20 million years to crack, now imagine doing it in just 15 minutes. That’s exactly what ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the past decades, researchers have introduced several new quantum information ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Last year, Jonathan Oppenheim’s theory of post-quantum gravity was the only theory that made it into my Best of 2024 summary. Post-quantum gravity is one of the most ...
