Quantum mechanics — the most successful and important theory in modern physics — is like that. It works wonderfully, explaining things from lasers and chemistry to the Higgs boson and the ...

But to understand how things work in the real world, quantum mechanics must be combined with other elements of physics – principally, Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity ...

For over a century, quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general relativity have stood as the cornerstones of modern physics, yet ...

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan and the Slovak Academy of Sciences have unveiled new insights into the interplay ...

Co-I's: Elias Zafiris, Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, University of Athens; Karim Bschir, Research Fellow, Philosophy of Science ... This project reconstructs quantum theory’s conventional set ...

Can quantum systems become more disordered, as thermodynamics would predict? Yes, they can - if a proper definition of "entropy" is used. It is one of the most important laws of nature that we know: ...

Chien-Shiung Wu's trailblazing but largely forgotten achievement features in a recent profile of the influential physicist Pioneering female Chinese-American physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, who worked with ...

Videos of the conference are found here. The aim of the conference is to explore central themes in philosophy of physics, such as Interpretations of Quantum Theory Geometric vs. Dynamic Approaches to ...

Jamie Nagle: My current research is in the field of experimental high-energy heavy ion physics. The current theory of strong interactions (quantum chromodynamics QCD) predicts that nuclear matter at ...

Bootstrapping strings Evidence that string theory could ... to construct the physics from the bottom up, ‘effectively pulling itself up by its bootstraps’. In our study, we bootstrapped scattering ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum ... Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e., points where the laws of physics ...
