A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...
It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...
Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in probabilities and the other in smooth curves of spacetime. A new line of work argues ...
A new kind of mirror is emerging from quantum physics labs, one that exists not as a chunk of polished glass but as a ...
The 2025 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a trio of scientists – a Briton, a Frenchman and an American – for their ground-breaking discoveries in the field of quantum mechanics. John Clarke, ...
Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...
