Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

This week, CERN announced that it has detected a new particle at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) called the Xi-cc-plus. It's a very heavy particle, with a mass four times that of a proton, and it's ...

For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

In new research published in Physical Review X, scientists have designed quantum control protocols that generate processes more consistent with time flowing backward than forward. The ...

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

Scientists can now calculate how shared reality emerges from the strange quantum world where particles can exist in many ...

But such measurements are notoriously challenging: the instruments used are themselves governed by quantum laws, and their interaction with particles can alter the very properties they are meant to ...

Turing Award winners Gilles Brassard and Charles Bennett pioneered ideas that are now foundational to quantum computers and ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Journey into the mind-bending world of Minovsky Particles! This video explores their speculative discovery within a fusion reactor, drawing parallels to the historical emergence of quantum mechanics.

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognized for their foundational work in quantum information science.
