I've long been fascinated by the fundamental mystery of our universe's origin. In my work, I explore an alternative to the traditional singularity-based models of cosmology. Instead of a universe ...

Physicists are still puzzling over the true nature of dark matter and dark energy, because they have inexplicably added 10 times as much mass as normal matter has to the universe. Looking at the ...

The universe could undergo a catastrophe that would change absolutely everything, scientists have shown using a quantum machine. The groundbreaking simulation allowed scientists to better understand a ...

In 2022 three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for proving something astonishing: the universe is not locally real. In other words, particles don’t have fixed properties until they are ...

Researchers have developed a technique that makes high-dimensional quantum information encoded in light more practical and reliable. The advancement could pave the way for more secure data ...

For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein's general relativity explains gravity as the bending of space and time. Quantum mechanics governs the world of particles ...

Quantum mechanics would allow the Universe to eventually tunnel to the lowest energy state, or the ‘true’ vacuum, and that process would result in a cataclysmic global event. (CREDIT: Professor Zlatko ...

Physicists have performed a simulation they say sheds new light on an elusive phenomenon that could determine the ultimate fate of the universe. Pioneering research in quantum field theory around 50 ...

When we look at the world at the tiniest scales, things get very weird. Take a wild ride through the quantum world, from the discoveries that reveal its strange rules to the amazing technologies it ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...
