Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of ...

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 ...

Scientists believe that spacetime may have emerged, in part, from a quantum property called “magic.” “Magic” describes how hard a quantum state is to simulate on a regular computer. According to a ...

In a new Physical Review Letters study, researchers propose an experimental approach that could finally determine whether gravity is fundamentally classical or quantum in nature. The nature of gravity ...

Everyone has their favourite example of a trick that reliably gets a certain job done, even if they don’t really understand why. Back in the day, it might have been slapping the top of your television ...
