Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in ...

Upcoming experimental tests of gravity’s quantumness aim to resolve one of the biggest questions in physics, but theorists ...

Quantum researchers in the twenty-first century are part of an international network that requires a great deal of ...

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) provides a comprehensive framework for describing the fundamental interactions of matter and radiation. In the context of atom‐field interactions, QFT elucidates how atoms ...

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.

Quantum gravity remains one of the big missing pieces of a Grand Unified Theory that could bridge quantum field theory and general relativity. Knowing that quantum gravity solutions must resemble ...

Vivek Prakriya is blazing a unique path through college, tech jobs and now politics as he seeks a government seat in the city ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work showing how bizarre ...

A supersolid is a paradoxical state of matter—it is rigid like a crystal but flows without friction like a superfluid. This ...

Researchers at UBC have found a way to mimic the elusive Schwinger effect using superfluid helium, where vortex pairs appear out of thin films instead of electron-positron pairs in a vacuum. Their ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...
