Trying to solve quantum gravity is frustrating. We have made tremendous progress in quantum theory, but it seems that every ...

Mathematicians have struggled to understand the moduli space of graphs. A new paper uses tools from physics to peek inside. “That’s a super hard problem. It’s amazing they were able to,” said Dan ...

A new study links the universe’s expansion to quantum topology, suggesting that hidden mathematical structures may stabilize ...

This spring marks the end of physics Professor Peter Love’s quantum information and quantum computing lab group’s time at ...

An international team of researchers has found a simple relationship between the rates of energy and information transmission across an interface connecting two quantum field theories. An ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

(Viaframe/Stone/Getty Images) Although our Universe appears to be stable, it might just be in a temporary state of false calm that could rupture in the blink of an eye. We consider a vacuum to be the ...

University of Chicago physicist Clay Córdova has been named a recipient of the 2026 New Horizons in Physics Prize for his work in quantum field theory. He was recognized alongside three colleagues: ...

Theories of quantum mechanics predict that some particles can exist in superpositions, which essentially means that they can ...

Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) examines the fusion of quantum mechanics and electromagnetism, moving beyond classical theories ...
