Quantum field theory (QFT) remains the cornerstone of our understanding of particle interactions, unifying the principles of quantum mechanics with special relativity by describing particles as ...

Two USC researchers have proposed a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics that could open the door to using string field theory — or a broader version of it, called M-theory ...

The theory failed to unite gravity and quantum mechanics. But it still has become one of the most useful tools in science.

Recent decades have witnessed remarkable progress in establishing rigorous mathematical frameworks for quantum field theory (QFT), conformal field theory (CFT), quantum gravity and string theory ...

Scientists propose a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics that could open the door to using string field theory as the basis of all physics. Their calculations "could solve the ...

Researchers at The University of South Carolina, USC, have proposed that a link between string field theory and quantum mechanics does exist. The link assumes that string field theory is a fully ...

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single ...

Research The quantum and gravitational theory group works on a wide range of topics in theoretical physics, from string theory to quantum information, condensed matter, and cosmology. Faculty Research ...

Scientists have long sought evidence to refute string theory, but a new test seeks to disprove key aspects with help from the Large Hadron Collider.

String theory, like quantum theory, is background dependent in that it relies on the existence of time and space. Strings vibrate in space over time and string theory does not describe what time ...
