When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Carlo Rovelli has struck gold. This book began life as a series of articles in the Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore. The series was popular enough to be assembled into a slim volume and it became the ...

Speaking at the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Ontario, where he was making a funding announcement, Trudeau dared reporters to ask him about how quantum computing works during a question and answer ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth curvature of spacetime, the other the jittery statistics of particles and ...

In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...

A team at the University of Oxford has coaxed a single trapped ion into a quantum state so exotic it has no classical ...
