Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

The race to build a quantum internet has shifted from theory to engineering, as researchers learn how to send fragile quantum ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory—our two best bets on understanding the universe on a macroscopic and ...

AdS/CFT suggests that our three-dimensional universe can be modeled by a two-dimensional surface. AdS (Anti-de Sitter space) ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

Nvidia is quietly positioning itself at the center of quantum computing by linking today’s fastest AI GPUs with early quantum processors through its new NVQLink and CUDA-Q systems. This hybrid ...

Uncovering Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model: From Fundamental Concepts to Dynamical Mechanisms, by Wolfgang Bietenholz and Uwe-Jens Wiese, Cambridge University Press Not for the faint of ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

I have long been fascinated by the strong attraction many people feel toward quantum field theory as a way to explain extraordinary experiences. As a psychiatrist interested in coincidences and the ...

Zhixin Wang does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...
