Physicists at Heidelberg University have developed a new theory that finally unites two long-standing and seemingly incompatible views of how exotic particles behave inside quantum matter. In some ...

A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other. Quantum theory governs particles and fields, while Einstein’s gravity describes ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...

A sensitive matter-wave interferometer measuring moiré fringes offers force sensitivity comparable to quantum interference ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...
