Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

A team of physicists has designed quantum algorithms that can model one of the most elusive behaviors in nature: a photon ...

Noncommutative Quantum Field Theory represents an ambitious extension of standard quantum field theory that incorporates a fundamental noncommutativity in the structure of spacetime. In these models, ...

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...

A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always posed a problem. Physics can describe a great deal about the universe ...

A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.
