In the race to uncover the deepest secrets of the universe, researchers are turning to powerful new tools. One of the most promising tools is the quantum computer. It offers a way to explore problems ...

An international research team around Marcus Sperling, a researcher at the Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna, has sparked interest in the scientific community with pioneering results in quantum ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) provides a comprehensive framework for describing the fundamental interactions of matter and radiation. In the context of atom‐field interactions, QFT elucidates how atoms ...

Modern physics has been shaped by great minds, yet somehow physics hasn’t explained what the mind is. For decades consciousness was not a respectable area of inquiry in physics, yet the great quantum ...

Let me tell you about my book "Fields and Their Quanta: Making Sense of Quantum Foundations," published last year by Springer. It's technical, but I'll describe it in English. Scientists agree the ...

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 ...

Entanglement is one of the most valuable resources in the quantum realm – for instance, it is the powerhouse behind quantum encryption – and in theory, it may be possible to extract an infinite amount ...

Quantum materials just got a major jolt. Dutch researchers have shown, for the first time, that ultra-narrow strips of germanene, the lesser-known cousin of grapheme, have their quantum states ...

A new discovery suggests gravitational fields can enable matter to become quantum entangled — and that's even if the concept of quantum gravity does not exist. The idea comes from two London-based ...

Quantum mechanics has revealed that magnetic fields exert profound influences on microscopic systems, modulating quantum states and facilitating emergent phenomena with global technological potential.

Tiny highly uniform magnetic fields are known to pervade the universe, influencing various cosmological processes. To date, however, the physical mechanisms underpinning the generation of these fields ...
