A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Nearly half a century ago, physicists proposed that the universe might be trapped in a metastable state known as a false ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

Experts are calling for the cryptographic systems on which the entire network depends to be made ready now for the imminent ...

Over 85 years after it began, the Einstein-Bohr debate remains the most consequential intellectual rivalry in modern science ...

Preserving quantum information is key to developing useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow laws of thermodynamics, eventually leading to information ...

Quantum annealer has simulated the fundamental process of false vacuum decay, opening the window to the understanding of interactions between true vacuum bubbles. Credit: Professor Zlatko Papic / ...

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, but deep down, it's not. Over enormous timescales, it could suddenly tip ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 2022 three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for proving something astonishing: the universe is not locally real. In ...

A physicist proposes that consciousness is the fundamental basis of reality, with matter and spacetime emerging from it.

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.
