Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the ...

In 1981, physicist Richard Feynman first theorized the creation of quantum computers that harnessed the principles of quantum physics to process calculations that would take standard computers ...

A new study in Nature Physics has turned an old problem on its head by reporting a way to use the noisy interactions between ...

In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...

Photonic says it’s trying to build the world’s first highly scalable fault-tolerant quantum computer. It’s doing so with a ...
