Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...

By bringing the long-standing and opposing views of quantum mechanics together to form a single cohesive theory, a research ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

To reach this conclusion, the researchers examined the most basic form of entanglement between identical particles using the concept of nonlocality introduced by physicist John Bell. While ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Theoretical physicists have established a close connection between the two rapidly developing fields in theoretical physics, quantum information theory and non-invertible symmetries in particle and ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...

An international team of physicists has proven new theorems in quantum mechanics that describe the 'energy landscapes' of collections of quantum particles. Their work addresses decades-old questions, ...
