Most current models of the Big Bang rely on general relativity along with additional elements that are introduced to make the theory fit observations. In contrast, this new framework provides a more ...

A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

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 quantum layer will will not be exhausted by one hardware modality, one algorithmic framework or one vendor’s roadmap.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Quantum mechanics is both the most powerful theory physicists have ever devised and the most baffling. On the one hand, countless ...

With the help of a new experiment, researchers have succeeded in confirming a ten-year-old theoretical study, which connects one of the most fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics -- the ...

A theoretical paper posted to arXiv proposes that quantum coherence, the fragile property that powers quantum computing and ...

A quantum system built from just nine atoms has outperformed classical artificial intelligence models containing thousands of ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

Quantum phase transitions (QPTs) represent fundamental shifts in the ground state properties of a system driven by quantum fluctuations rather than thermal effects. The quantum Rabi model, which ...
