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

In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

Quantum mechanics can explain and recover classical results under some specific approximations. However, deriving quantum mechanical results strictly from classical assumption is generally not ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to UNESCO, marking 100 years since quantum ...

Exact solutions of the Schrödinger equation have long provided fundamental insights into quantum mechanics by furnishing explicit analytical expressions for wave functions and energy spectra. These ...

Some quantum systems may have two arrows of time, one running forwards as usual and another moving backwards. This means that, at some extremely small scales, time may have the option of moving in ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Imagine zooming into matter at the quantum scale, where tiny particles can interact in more than a trillion configurations at once. If that sounds complicated, it is: Physicists often ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...
