Simulating the fundamental forces of nature on a computer is one of the grand challenges of modern physics, and a team at the ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) is the basis of the Standard Model of particle physics. This video explains what QFT is, why it’s necessary, and how it differs from non-relativistic quantum mechanics.

Collisions between particles at high energies can sometimes produce new particles and shed light on interactions between the ...

Quantum Field Theory (QFT) extends the principles of quantum mechanics to systems with infinitely many degrees of freedom, treating particles as excitations of underlying fields and unifying special ...

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

Quantum physics keeps challenging our intuition. Researchers have shown that joint measurements can be carried out on distant particles, without the need to bring them together. This breakthrough ...

To learn more about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time, physicists smash high-energy particles together in large accelerator machines, creating sprays of millions of particles per second of ...

A new study published in Scientific Reports simulates particle creation in an expanding universe using IBM quantum computers, demonstrating the digital quantum simulation of quantum field theory for ...

Quantum gravity addresses the deep challenge of unifying the principles of quantum mechanics with the geometric description of spacetime provided by general relativity. At low energies, gravity can be ...

The essential role of typists in intra-scientific communication,” which examines the skilled technical typists who prepared ...

Using the Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, scientists are on the hunt for quantum black holes smaller than atoms.

Physicists have confirmed the two foundational postulates of Richard Feynman’s path-integral approach to quantum mechanics in ...
