Pairing superconducting qubits with microwave cavities could reduce the hardware requirements for quantum simulations of fundamental physics.

We conclude our series on the standard model with an introduction to gauge theory. We discuss how the requirement of local gauge invariance generates interaction terms in the Lagrangian, and introduce ...

ABSTRACT: We present a theoretical prediction for the mass of a hypothetical Z′ boson within the framework of an extended electroweak model. Starting from the neutral current Lagrangian and assuming ...

We introduce a relativistic complex scalar field model motivated by the Information Discrimination Theory (IDT) framework, in which the field amplitude is interpreted as a local measure of ...

ABSTRACT: The study investigates flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) decays of B and K mesons in the context of a dark U ( 1 ) D model with a dark photon/dark Z mass between 10 MeV and 2 GeV. While ...

Scientists at CERN’s ATLAS experiment have uncovered compelling evidence of Higgs bosons decaying into muons, an incredibly rare event that could deepen our understanding of how particles acquire mass ...

The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...

Scientists assume that inflation was driven by hypothetical inflaton particles, which scientists think could be the Higgs boson. Scientists may have found a solution to one of the most profound ...

Physicists, including core UCLA researchers, have accurately measured the mass of the W boson — more precisely than a previous attempt at measuring the mass — and found that it is consistent with the ...

A musical about particle physics is under development, with David Henry Hwang, the playwright behind “M. Butterfly.” By Dennis Overbye On a recent Friday afternoon in a basement room in Midtown ...
