Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

As the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology draws to a close, Margaret Harris revisits some of the year’s ...

What does the passage of time look like for a truly quantum object? The world’s best clocks may soon be able to answer this question, testing how time can stretch and shift in the quantum realm and ...

Physicists are rethinking time itself. Long treated as a basic part of the universe, time may instead be an illusion—a side effect of quantum entanglement. A new study challenges the traditional idea ...

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 ...

In the world of quantum physics, the rules that govern reality behave in ways that challenge what we think we know. Particles can be in two places at once. Actions on one particle can instantly affect ...

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 ...
