Commercial software can’t keep pace with experimental precision when it comes to large-scale computer-algebra calculations in ...

The physics preceptor sat down with Fifteen Minutes to discuss New York City, interdisciplinarity, and the origins of math.

Rydberg atoms are atoms with one or more outer electrons excited to very high energy levels, which interact very strongly with each other. These atoms are widely used to run quantum simulations and ...

About 13.8 billion years ago, the origin of the universe began with the Big Bang. Scientists say all space, time, matter, and ...

The original story “ Physicists build a quantum Newton’s cradle where energy flows without resistance ” is published in The ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it’s more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

Neuroscience has traditionally explained communication in the brain through electrochemical signaling: action potentials, synapses, neuromodulators, and ...

In the vast expanse of the universe, there are regions so empty they seem likethe definition of nothingness: cosmic voids. But recent discoveries are upending that perception. These empty spaces, ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

This article investigates the classical limit of the Jarzynski equality in quantum systems, specifically using a nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings model representing a superconducting optical cavity with Kerr ...

Last year, our most detailed map of the universe yet suggested our understanding of dark energy has been wrong for decades. The shock result is reigniting the search for a better cosmic story ...

Physicists are scrambling to understand why dark energy is weakening. In a surprising twist, we must now reconsider the ...
