WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.—Renowned French scientist Alain Aspect, who won the 2022 Nobel Prize for his pathfinding research in quantum physics, will give a lecture on Monday (May 13) at Purdue University ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek, considered one of the world’s most eminent theoretical physicists and a pioneer in modern quantum theory, will join Purdue University President ...

Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...

Maria Violaris works on quantum foundations as an academic visitor at the University of Oxford, UK, and on quantum computing at Oxford Quantum Circuits, Reading, UK. Norma G. Sanchez, is the founder ...

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.

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

A RECENT GROUNDBREAKING EXPERIMENT in which anesthesia was administered to rats has convinced scientists that tiny structures in the rodents’ brains are responsible for the experience of consciousness ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...
