Nevertheless, this paper demonstrates how our quest to understand the quantum realm is still far from complete, says James Cresser, a now retired professor of physics. “This [helps] shake up a ...

Physicists have proposed a radical approach that questions decades of belief about how gravity, spacetime, and quantum mechanics fit together.

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy. A new recipe for gravity could help ...

You can sign up for Lost in Space-Time here. Before I entered university, I learned quantum physics is the most mysterious type of physics, full of particles that exist in two places at once ...

The Taproot Wizards team has confirmed that they will open its “Wizards” non-fungible token collection for public sale this ...

The steam-powered world of the industrial revolution may seem far removed from the quantum realm. But this period of dramatic change was bolstered by thermodynamics, which deals with heat ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Engineers have demonstrated a quantum network with two nodes, each containing multiple qubits, using a new protocol for entanglement multiplexing. This approach ...

Quantum computers, which are based on the seemingly magical properties of the quantum realm, hold promise for use in many different fields, including medicine, materials science, cryptography ...

When working with the quantum realm, researchers are dealing with the miniscule scale of individual atoms and of photons, the basic particles of light. At this scale, matter does not behave ...

While there are many examples of fractals in nature—such as coastlines and snowflakes—few are found in the quantum realm. "Hofstadter's butterfly is also a rare example of a problem that is ...
