Kellogg Stelle was a professor of physics at Imperial College London for decades until his death last month. In 1977, he developed a particle theory of gravity that’s renormalizable, but the theory’s ...

A deceptively simple experiment that involves making precise measurements of the time it takes for a particle to go from point A to point B could cause a breakthrough in quantum physics. The findings ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

Quantum mechanics, the theory which rules the microworld of atoms and particles, certainly has the X factor. Unlike many other areas of physics, it is bizarre and counter-intuitive, which makes it ...

The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics recognized Alain Aspect, John Clauser, and Anton Zeilinger for their groundbreaking experimental work confirming quantum entanglement, a phenomenon where the state of ...

Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime Sean Carroll Oneworld (2019) At the beginning of Something Deeply Hidden, Sean Carroll cites the tale of the fox and the grapes ...

Quantum systems hold the promise of tackling some complex problems faster and more efficiently than classical computers.

A quarter of a century after it was first posed, a fundamental question about the nature of quantum entanglement finally has an answer – and that answer is “no”. In a groundbreaking study, Julio I de ...

Natalie Paquette spends her time thinking about how to grow an extra dimension. Start with little circles, scattered across every point in space and time—a curlicue dimension, looped back onto itself.
