Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco 49ers have been riddled with injuries in recent years, and there is a theory about why. A viral theory, albeit unproven, says the 49ers’ unusually high number of soft ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to optimally simulate them on a computer? The answer comes from AI. Quantum field ...

Research led by scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and Stanford University has demonstrated a new approach to Floquet engineering using excitons rather than photons.

Abstract: Quantum computing (QC) has emerged as a promising research area transitioning from theory to practical realization, driven by interdisciplinary integration. To gain a comprehensive ...

In an effort to solve the riddle of why we have subjective conciousness, scientists have develop myriad theories, including ones involving the quantum realm. A new theory suggests that consciousness ...

Jainendra Jain with one of his graduate students in his office. Penn State has launched a new center dedicated to quantum science and germinating cross-disciplinary collaboration. The Center for ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

The universe’s first moments after the Big Bang were strange beyond imagination. Now physicists have discovered they may have been even weirder than we thought, dominated by enormous, twisted knots of ...

Abstract: We explore the effects of layered geometries of two-dimensional (2D) quantum spin systems as a method to tune and control material properties for spintronic devices. We analyze the ...
