The lack of convergence between quantum laws and gravitation remains a persistent problem in physics. A recent advance, ...

We never measure time directly; instead, we use clocks to measure moments in time, meaning “time” is just a measurement of ...

For decades, scientists have tried and failed to explain how the force that binds the heart of atoms together really works.

Quantum control represents a pivotal area in contemporary physics, encompassing the design and manipulation of quantum systems through external fields and potentials. At its core, the field seeks to ...

What exactly is … everything? What is space-time? At one extreme, you’ve got the weird rules of quantum physics that deal with subatomic particles. At the other extreme, you’ve got the vast expanses ...

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 ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...

Overview: Quantum Physics for Beginners by Carl J. Pratt simplifies core ideas like wave-particle duality and entanglement, making it ideal for first-time reade ...

A research team has, for the first time in the world, elucidated the microscopic mechanism by which quantum order is lost and ...

A research team has identified environmental interactions as the cause of ultrafast electronic decoherence in solids, a long-standing open question in quantum physics.
