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

A team of physicists has designed quantum algorithms that can model one of the most elusive behaviors in nature: a photon ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has ...

Quantum invariants have emerged as powerful algebraic and numerical tools that encapsulate the subtleties of topological structures. By drawing on quantum group theory and the constructs of ...

The concept of the vacuum, initially thought to be empty, is actually steeped in complex physics. From Aristotle's horror vacui to quantum field fluctuations, this piece explores the transition from ...

Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.
