Assistant Professor Haocun Yu is something of a scientific diplomat. In a recent Physical Review Letters publication, she and ...

The proposed BMV experiment could test whether gravity is quantum, a breakthrough that may lead to quantum computers and ...

Scientists think a new framework for quantum gravity could offer clues about a mysterious 5th fundamental force of nature.

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein's general relativity. One explains the tiny world of particles; the other describes ...

A new theory suggests the universe is constantly recording its own history in the fabric of spacetime. If correct, this ...

The Earth’s gravity, manifested as curvature in space and time, is expected to alter the rules of standard quantum theory. An experiment consisting of three quantum computers at different elevations ...

What exactly is … everything? What is space-time? At one extreme, you’ve got the weird rules of quantum physics that deal with subatomic particles. At the other extreme, you’ve got the vast expanses ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...
