Werner Heisenberg's famous uncertainty principle describes one of the most intriguing features of quantum physics: certain pairs of physical quantities describing a particle, such as position and ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama themselves. A new theoretical framework now flips that script, treating space ...

Quantum networking is being rapidly developed world-wide. It is a key quantum technology that will enable a global quantum internet: the ability to deploy secure communication at scale, and to connect ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden quantum limit that prevents an electron's position and timing from ever being known with ...

Scientists have, for the first time, experimentally proven that angular momentum is conserved even when a single photon splits into two, pushing quantum physics to its most fundamental limits. Using ...

The question of how gravity interacts with the quantum world has long perplexed physicists, but a non-quantum theory of space-time could present an answer ...

The gauge bosons of the standard model of particle physics are responsible for three of the four known forces in the universe, conveyed through the exchange of virtual bosons. In electromagnetism, the ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the beginning of time and the center of every black hole lies a point of infinite density called a singularity. To explore these ...

The quantum revolution in physics — whose 100th anniversary we have just celebrated — taught us that at the most basic level the world is bizarrely different than it seems. But, we appear to only have ...
