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

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

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 ...

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Quantum entanglement occurs when two subatomic particles become linked in such a way that their properties remain connected, no matter how far apart they are. A change to one particle seems to ...

Physicists have long relied on elegant theorems to connect the abstract math of quantum theory with the tangible behavior of ...
