A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always ...

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology theorize that a functional quantum computer may require far fewer ...

Charles H. Bennett and Gilles Brassard, winners of this year’s Turing Award, spent their lives touting the advantages of the ...

You can say the universe has a split personality. Or better said, our physical models of the universe are the ones fractured.

Scientists show helium atoms can exist in two places at once, preserving quantum behavior even as they fall under gravity.

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum ...

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that evolve with time. What role did this equation play inthe so-called ...

Leggett later switched to theoretical condensed-matter physics, and rapidly made the subject of macroscopic quantum phenomena his own. Only eight years after his PhD, he created a remarkably intuitive ...

The basic shape that best describes our expanding universe is also the hardest shape for physicists to understand.

As quantum risk moves from theory to inevitability, a new public-private collaboration aims to operationalize the shift to ...
