An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...

The fragility and laws of quantum physics generally make the characterization of quantum systems time‑consuming. Furthermore, ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum theory—our two best bets on understanding the universe on a macroscopic and ...

This breathtaking clue about the architecture of consciousness supports a Nobel-Prize winner’s theory about how quantum physics works in your brain.

For many of us, advanced physics can be tough to understand to begin with, which makes it all the more impressive whenever someone earns a Nobel Prize for advancing the field even further. The latest ...
