The true “informational age” of the cosmos may be 62 billion years, not just the 13.8 billion years of our current expansion.

Mean-field theory and semiclassical methods constitute vital frameworks in contemporary quantum mechanics. By replacing the intricate web of particle interactions with an average or “mean” field, mean ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

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

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

A radical new theory regarding the origin of the universe suggests that gravitational waves, tiny ripples in spacetime first ...

A study from Technion unveils a newly discovered form of quantum entanglement in the total angular momentum of photons confined in nanoscale structures. This discovery could play a key role in the ...
