Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

For the first time, scientists have directly imaged the quantum process underlying superconductivity, a phenomenon in which ...

For the first time, scientists have observed quantum entanglement in the momentum of massive particles. The result, decades in the making, could help physicists probe the relationship between quantum ...

When sand grains wedge together in a funnel, the whole column locks up. Something strikingly similar can happen to quantum ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works extremely well in its own domain: Quantum theory explains how atoms and ...

The Princeton Quantum Initiative’s Ph.D. program is helping pioneer a field that promises to define the next era of discovery ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Chalmers physicists propose “giant superatoms” that could curb decoherence and route entanglement in quantum devices. (CREDIT: ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth curvature of spacetime, the other the jittery statistics of particles and ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always posed a problem. Physics can describe a great deal about the universe ...
