You don’t need to be a math genius to start learning quantum physics; many books break it down simply. There are books that ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

In 2025, U.S.-based scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for ...

By Niklas Pollard and Johan Ahlander STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -U.S.-based scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis ...

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics ...

Ask a bunch of physicists to explain a quantum experiment and you’re unlikely to get the same description twice. Everyone agrees that the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics is peerless at ...

Diagrammatic representation of the entropic quantum gravity action. The action for gravity is given by the quantum relative entropy between the metric of the manifold and the metric induced by the ...

Join Curt Jaimungal talks to Harvard physicist Jacob Barandes and Scott Aaronson. Jacob Barandes claims quantum mechanics can be reformulated without wave functions. Barandes has a new formulation of ...

A team of physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in China has measured a pulse of light in 37 dimensions. In their paper published in Science Advances, the group explains that their ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1896, the Swedish physicist Svante Arrhenius realized that carbon dioxide (CO 2) traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere—the phenomenon now ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...
