A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Physicists are trying to rewrite the axioms of quantum theory from scratch in an effort to understand what it all means. The problem? They’ve been almost too successful.

The research indicates that these 'baby universes' exhibit regular patterns of behavior over extremely long timescales, similar to a Poisson process—a mathematical model used to describe the ...

Scientists have been using quantum theory for almost a century now, but embarrassingly they still don't know what it means. An informal poll taken at a 2011 conference on Quantum Physics and the ...

The Quantum Theory. Professor Max Planck was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics this year, and his address on the occasion of receiving it makes extraordinarily interesting reading.

Quantum systems hold the promise of tackling some complex problems faster and more efficiently than classical computers. Despite their potential, so far only a limited number of studies have ...

The theory developed by Rice theorist Peter Wolynes and Oxford theoretical chemist David Logan gives a simple prediction for the threshold at which large quantum systems switch from orderly motion ...

The analysis does not model gravity explicitly, and so is not an attempt to formulate a theory of ‘quantum gravity’ that brings general relativity and quantum mechanics under one umbrella.

One notable example is the $34 million secured by British quantum algorithms specialist Phasecraft from a group of investors, including an entity linked to Danish pharmaceutical ...

Can the macroscopic realm of gravity ever be merged with the strange microscopic kingdom of quantum particles to create a Grand Unified Theory of Everything?
