The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it.

The prospective candidates of the GATE 2026 Physics (PH) exam must familiarise themselves with the GATE Physics syllabus. The ...

Mathematicians have found a way to transform an unproductive quantum computing approach by reviving a class of previously discarded particles. Now, in a new study published in the journal Nature ...

So, you’re curious about quantum mechanics? It’s a wild ride, honestly. It’s the science that looks at the super tiny stuff, like atoms and the bits inside them. Things get pretty weird down there, ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) is a physics framework that describes how particles and forces behave based on principles rooted in quantum mechanics and Albert Einstein's special relativity theory. This ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

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.

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 ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...

The problem with quantum mechanics, or at least the reason even physicists don’t understand it, isn’t that it paints an unfamiliar picture of reality. It isn’t difficult to accept that the world of ...

A new theoretical study suggests that the mysterious force driving the accelerated expansion of the universe—known as dark energy—may actually be rooted in a deeply quantum structure of space-time.
