Lattice gauge theory provides a powerful framework for discretising gauge theories to explore the fundamental interactions that underlie particle physics and complex condensed matter phenomena. By ...

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, ...

Nearly half a century ago, physicists proposed that the universe might be trapped in a metastable state known as a false ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

For the first time, researchers in China have accurately quantified how chaos increases in a quantum many-body system as it evolves over time. Combining experiments and theory, a team led by Yu-Chen ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Quantum theory describes events that take place on extremely short time scales. In the past, such events were regarded as ‘momentary’ or ‘instantaneous’: An electron orbits the nucleus of an atom – in ...

Few scientific ideas have leapt from philosophy seminars to dinner-table debates as quickly as the claim that our universe ...

Nvidia it is working with Google Quantum AI to accelerate the design of its next-generation quantum computing devices using simulations powered by Nvidia. Google Quantum AI is using the hybrid quantum ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Despite how it may feel some days, we probably aren’t stuck in a ...

By applying new methods of machine learning to quantum chemistry research, Heidelberg University scientists have made significant strides in computational chemistry. They have achieved a major ...
