Researchers have experimentally observed energy patterns that physicists have predicted for about 40 years. By arranging ...

With the help of a new experiment, researchers at Linköping University, among others, have succeeded in confirming a 10-year-old theoretical study that connects one of the most fundamental aspects of ...

Recent research shows that gravity and quantum information are deeply connected and that the shape of spacetime can be traced back to the way information is stored in quantum fields. Subscribe to our ...

A trapped-ion quantum simulator has captured the real-time unraveling of a confining string, revealing that charge pairs form ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

Quantum theory is fundamentally a probabilistic description of nature in which the outcomes of measurements are governed by the Born rule and encoded in complex amplitudes or density operators. Beyond ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

A proposed experiment could shed light on the unknown interplay of quantum theory and general relativity. Quantum theory in curved spacetime can be theoretically understood beyond the limit at which ...
