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

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

Quantum entanglement happens when two particles become interconnected and share a single state. Scientists have measured how fast it happens.

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

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

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

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

Quantum physics didn’t set out to explain the mind. It set out to explain matter. And yet, the deeper scientists went into ...
