An “echo” that arrives before you finish speaking sounds like a glitch. In quantum hardware, that kind of self-interference ...

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to each other. And if information could leak between outcomes, it could mean ...

An accessible look at the search for a unified framework that could connect quantum mechanics and gravity, and what physicists mean by a “Theory of Everything.” ...

For many critics of religion, particularly within atheist circles, the Big Bang theory is frequently presented as a decisive scientific evidence against belief in God and the biblical doctrine of ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at once, described by a mathematical object called a wavefunction.

Wormholes have long served as science fiction’s favorite shortcut through the cosmos, but a growing body of theoretical physics research suggests they will never function as tunnels. That does not ...

Published in Nature, the study details the first large-scale demonstration of a photonic Ising machine operating without the ...

Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can also be very concrete. Together, they are investigating how quantum ...

A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, a riddle that has persisted in nuclear physics for decades ...

Theoretical research led by Professor Enrique Gaztañaga of the University of Portsmouth challenges the ...
