A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

A physicist proposes that consciousness is the fundamental basis of reality, with matter and spacetime emerging from it.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama themselves. A new theoretical framework now flips that script, treating space ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum computer: The realization of a novel type of quantum logic gate makes it ...

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday ...

Quantum mechanics remains a cornerstone of modern physics, providing a framework for understanding phenomena at the microscopic scale. At the heart of its formulation lies the concept of Hilbert ...

In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She calculated that collisions involving three different types of subatomic ...
