If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other. Quantum theory governs particles and fields, while Einstein’s gravity describes ...

For a century, the Schrödinger equation has been the bedrock of quantum mechanics, successfully predicting how matter behaves as a wave. Yet, physics has lacked a fundamental explanation for why ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

Gravity is one of four fundamental interactions. The most precise description of this force is still provided by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, published in 1915, an entirely classical ...

A century ago, Erwin Schrödinger came up with an equation that says how the quantum world behaves. Now scientists are asking ...

Quantum computing is used in intelligence, military affairs, finance, digital manufacturing and artificial intelligence (AI). “Organizations take about five to ten years to cross the chasm to become ...

The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure and stability of matter. Now an international collaboration of physicists ...

Over the past decades, the mathematical formulation of physical theories has evolved to provide a unified framework that bridges classical mechanics, quantum mechanics and quantum information theory.
