A variation on the theory of quantum gravity — the unification of quantum mechanics and Einstein's general relativity — could ...

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

A new study published in Scientific Reports simulates particle creation in an expanding universe using IBM quantum computers, ...

Space-time may hide a bizarre new kind of black hole that causes Einstein’s theory of gravity to fail – and could solve the ...

This basic recipe worked for everything from Newtonian gravity right up to Einstein’s theories of relativity, which, like quantum theory, are a product of the early twentieth century.

From unifying quantum physics and gravity to working out what is dark matter, the universe has some deep questions that ...

The famous second law of thermodynamics says that the world gets more and more disordered when random chance is at play. Or, ...

Abstract: The no-cloning principle has played a foundational role in quantum information and cryptography. Following a long-standing tradition of studying quantum mechanical phenomena through the lens ...

Causal set theory is an innovative approach to understanding the fabric of spacetime, particularly in the context of quantum gravity. This theory posits that spacetime is not a continuous entity ...

By unifying all fundamental forces of nature, including gravity, string theory could provide the long-sought quantum description of gravity that has eluded scientists for decades. Through a novel ...

Scientists uncover secrets of black holes using quantum computing and machine learning, revealing new insights into space, ...
