Researchers at Waterloo have developed a novel approach to understanding how the universe originated, which could reshape ...

A team of physicists have proposed a new idea for uniting quantum mechanics and gravity, which they believe could explain the ...

Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that evolve with time. What role did this equation play inthe so-called ...

A mind-bending theory called quantum immortality suggests that your consciousness shifts to parallel universes after you die.

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

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) ...
