A jarring divide cleaves modern physics. On one side lies quantum theory, which portrays subatomic particles as probabilistic waves. On the other lies general relativity, Einstein’s theory that space ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...

As with many branches of physics and engineering, a common point of debate and research is: Under what conditions do the classical laws and theories of physics break down and quantum theories are ...

Quantum mechanics has at last been formulated exclusively with real numbers, bringing a mathematical puzzle at the heart of ...

Let me tell you about my book "Fields and Their Quanta: Making Sense of Quantum Foundations," published last year by Springer. It's technical, but I'll describe it in English. Scientists agree the ...

A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...

A University of Michigan-led team has discovered quantum oscillations within an insulator’s bulk, overturning conventional understanding of material behavior and hinting at a mysterious “new duality” ...

Researchers have found something that defies physics: an insulator exhibiting quantum oscillations like a metal. Uncover this ...

A new discovery suggests gravitational fields can enable matter to become quantum entangled — and that's even if the concept ...

Two recent studies published in Nature and Science Advances explored quantum approaches that could improve the precision of ...

An artist's illustration of a particle in a quantum superposition. Quantum batteries of the future could gain charge by breaking the conventional laws of causality, research has shown. Conventional ...
