Just as quantum mechanics reveals that the universe is made of intelligent, living energy, spiritual tradition also teaches ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Could our universe be expanding then shrinking back into a tiny point, reliving a kind of big bang over and over again? Probably not, according to a mathematical analysis that argues that the laws of ...

The universe may have been born out of nothing, with an "anti-universe" twin where time runs in the opposite direction—rather than exploding from an infinitely small and dense point, or "singularity." ...

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 ...

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, but deep down, it's not. Over enormous timescales, it could suddenly tip ...

Research team includes astrophysicists, computer scientists, artists, and philosophers from UC Riverside, USC, and Carnegie ...

Recent progress on both analog and digital simulations of quantum fields foreshadows a future in which quantum computers ...

Most people have never heard of vacuum decay, but if it happened it would be the biggest natural disaster in the universe. Sure, an asteroid could destroy a city or wipe out life on Earth. A supernova ...

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 ...

Scientists using Google’s quantum processor have taken a major step toward unraveling the deepest mysteries of the universe. By simulating fundamental interactions described by gauge theories, the ...
