Quantum theory in chemistry explains the behavior of atoms and molecules at the smallest scales, which is essential for understanding chemical reactions and properties. It provides the framework for ...

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

A 2,000-page monograph series proposes a new conceptual framework connecting quantum physics, gravitation and cosmological evolution.

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

An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.

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.

A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one.

Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in probabilities and the other in smooth curves of spacetime. A new line of work argues ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

The physics preceptor sat down with Fifteen Minutes to discuss New York City, interdisciplinarity, and the origins of math.

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 ...

The parity-identification problem fits naturally into this landscape. Parity is a global property, insensitive to most local details. In this respect, it resembles many other quantities studied in ...
