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

Many theories are rock-solid: Scientists have just as much confidence in the theories of relativity, quantum mechanics, ...

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics ...

Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

This is what fun looks like for a particular set of theoretical chemists driven to solve extremely difficult problems: ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

Recent progress on both analog and digital simulations of quantum fields foreshadows a future in which quantum computers ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

Stress is a very real factor in the structure of our universe. Not the kind of stress that students experience when taking a ...

A new study addresses a foundational problem in the theory of driven quantum matter by extending the Středa formula to ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...
