It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...

Quantum mechanics is usually described as the science of the very small — of electrons, atoms, and photons that behave in ways that defy the rules of everyday experience. Yet one of the most striking ...

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 ...

Three physicists have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for demonstrating quantum physics at the macroscopic scale. The research, including into the bizarre phenomena of quantum tunnelling ...

A Vermont research team has cracked a 90-year-old puzzle, creating a quantum version of the damped harmonic oscillator. By reformulating Lamb’s classical model, they showed how atomic vibrations can ...
