In the early 20th century, the development of quantum mechanics fundamentally changed our understanding of atomic and subatomic processes. This revolutionary theory, which emerged from the work of ...

The second paper, "Fermion Chirality from Non-Bipartite Topology," applies this same lattice geometry to the quantum world.

One of the companies at the forefront of this computing revolution is quantum processing unit (QPU) maker Rigetti Computing ( ...

CERN's ALICE experiment has resolved the puzzle of deuteron formation, showing that most deuterons form via resonance-driven ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

There is no measurement that can directly observe the wave function of a quantum mechanical system, but the wave function is still enormously useful as its (complex) square represents the probability ...

Pulsating remnants of stars hint at a clump of invisible matter thought to be about 10 million times the sun’s mass.

To most of us, time feels as solid as the phone alarm that drags us out of bed or the calendar that fills up faster than we ...

Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

The breakthrough introduces an ultra-sensitive system aimed at detecting axions, hypothetical particles believed to be a leading candidate for dark ...

Noah Heywood dives into the secrets of Stranger Things, from the corners of physical journals to the feasibility of on-screen wormholes.
