"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

An international team of physicists has proven new theorems in quantum mechanics that describe the 'energy landscapes' of collections of quantum particles. Their work addresses decades-old questions, ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

There may be an infinite amount of energy locked in the vacuum of space-time. So could we ever harness this energy for anything useful? The idea of vacuum energy comes from quantum field theory, which ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the ...

According to quantum mechanics, the physics theory that describes the zoo of subatomic particles, all matter can be described as both particles and waves. But is it real? When you purchase through ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

A stable "exceptional fermionic superfluid," a new quantum phase that intrinsically hosts singularities known as exceptional ...

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths ...

Recently, Professor Jianda Wu’s research team from the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in collaboration with Professor Jie Ma from the School of Physics and Astronomy and ...
