Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining ...

A new study just added an interesting twist to the complicated history of the physics theory.

The prevailing assumption has been that Einstein's theory of gravity must be modified, or 'quantized', in order to fit within quantum theory. This is the approach of two leading candidates for a ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

With the help of a new experiment, researchers have succeeded in confirming a ten-year-old theoretical study, which connects one of the most fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics -- the ...

A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

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 ...
