Researchers demonstrate that by shaping the spatial and temporal structure of photons, they can engineer customized quantum ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth ...

A UC Irvine team uncovered a never-before-seen quantum phase formed when electrons and holes pair up and spin in unison, ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...

What if your conscious experiences were not just the chatter of neurons, but were connected to the hum of the universe? In a ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Quantum physics has a reputation for needing exotic hardware, from liquid-helium-cooled qubits to sprawling AI clusters, just ...

A US military space-plane, the X-37B orbital test vehicle, is due to embark on its eighth flight into space on August 21, 2025. Much of what the X-37B does in space is secret. But it serves partly as ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. A new discovery suggests ...

In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She calculated that collisions involving three different types of subatomic ...

Today's encryption works well, until tomorrow's quantum computers arrive. This article was originally published at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Space.com's Expert ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...
