Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance,” but today quantum entanglement is poised to revolutionize technology from computers to cryptography. Physicists have gradually become convinced that ...

A new interactive web application allows for a tangible understanding of abstract concepts of quantum game theory. The Kobe ...

This year is being celebrated as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology to mark the centenary of major discoveries of Quantum Mechanics. Ever since quantum theory was discovered, it ...

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers ...

For centuries, the concept of consciousness has intrigued philosophers and scientists alike. Often deemed too abstract for scientific exploration, consciousness has been largely left to philosophical ...

Quantum researchers in the twenty-first century are part of an international network that requires a great deal of ...

A groundbreaking experiment demonstrates yet again that light exists both as a wave and a particle in the quantum world—but we can’t see both at the same time. Reading time: Reading time 3 minutes ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...

Mean-field theory and semiclassical methods constitute vital frameworks in contemporary quantum mechanics. By replacing the intricate web of particle interactions with an average or “mean” field, mean ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...
