The speed of light, c, is not just a very large number. In modern physics it is a structural constant: the conversion factor ...

Two experiments with different quantum computers showcase their growing ability to simulate materials and quantum matter that ...

Quantum computing promises to solve the seemingly unsolvable in fields such as physics, medicine, cryptography and more.

Schrödinger operators, typically formulated as −Δ + V where Δ denotes the Laplacian and V a potential function, are central to quantum mechanics and spectral theory. A key focus in recent ...

The quantum universe is full of mysteries, and among them, quantum entanglement intrigues with its puzzling properties.

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

Researchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a ...

Quantum physics isn’t just complicated – after 100 years, there is an awful lot of it to understand. This makes writing an accessible yet comprehensive book about the topic a challenge in both ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum phenomenon where light appears to arise from empty space a concept that until now has only existed in theory. Using cutting-edge simulations, ...
