Physicists are quietly rolling out a new generation of simulation codes that promise to do more than crunch numbers. By ...

The fifth state of matter—the ultracold Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)—has been an invaluable tool in unlocking the secrets ...

In a Columbia University laboratory in New York, physicist Sebastian Will and his team have reached one of ultracold physics’ ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

Setting aside the insane upheaval going on i n US science, this year’s Physics World Live series will give you a sense of ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Step aside, artificial intelligence. Another transformative technology with the potential to reshape industries and reorder ...

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 ...
