It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Students are getting a unique perspective on the quantum field and industry through a program they themselves are helping to shape. Quantum Scholars, which launched in 2023, is providing community and ...

Quantum physics is quietly rewriting the rulebook for how far and how fast humanity might travel beyond Earth. A cluster of recent breakthroughs points to a future in which exotic states of matter, ...

When two-dimensional electron systems are subjected to magnetic fields at low temperatures, they can exhibit interesting states of matter, such as fractional quantum Hall liquids. These are exotic ...

Quantum physics describes matter and light in terms of discrete quanta and inherently probabilistic rules that depart from classical intuition. At its heart lie wave–particle duality—entities such as ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...
