Few ideas in modern science have reshaped our understanding of reality more profoundly than space-time—the interwoven fabric ...

A new study shows quantum entanglement follows universal rules across dimensions using thermal effective theory.

What is more classified than a spaceplane belonging to the military? A spaceplane from the military testing quantum ...

In quantum field theory, particles are not really what we think they are. Instead, they are better represented as fields, which are quantum entities that span all of space and time.

Researchers used Google’s quantum processor to simulate fundamental physics, offering a new way to study the universe’s basic forces and particles. The fundamental forces that shape our universe are ...

Generations of researchers have tried to create a quantum theory of gravity, and their work has produced sophisticated ...

With the help of innovative large-scale simulations on various supercomputers, physicists at Johannes Gutenberg University ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

The vacuum of space is a chaotic sea of quantum fluctuations. Some have said that this vacuum energy can be harvested to build our future starship engines. It can't. But it is technically possible ...

Vacuum decay is different. This cataclysm would result from a change in the Higgs field, a quantum field that pervades all of space. It would be triggered by pure chance, creating a bubble that ...
