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

Leading experimentalists have provided lectures on the up-to-date experimental evidence confirming these paradoxical features of the quantum world, such as quantum non-locality (demonstrated ...

Quantum Entanglement is the biggest mystery of science that could upend life as we know it, writes Satyen K. Bordoloi.

Quantum mechanics is perhaps the most unintuitive theory ever devised. And yet it’s also the most successful, in terms of sheer predictive power. Simply by following the math of quantum ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball ...

Founded in fall 2023, the Cornell Quantum Computing Association (QCA) pushes the boundaries of student research in the field ...

Visualization of a quantum field theory calculation showing virtual particles in the quantum vacuum. (Specifically, for the strong interactions.) Even in empty space, this vacuum energy is non-zero.

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