Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

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

Pushed down to a certain scale, the laws of physics seem to fall apart. Astrid Eichhorn, a leader in an area of study called asymptotic safety, thinks we just need to push a little further.

The entangled clocks can test how quantum theory behaves in the presence of curved space-time as predicted by Einstein, or whether our current theories break down. Hoboken, N.J., July 14, 2025 — ...

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 ...

The field of quantum deformations explores systematic modifications of classical symmetry algebras that underpin our understanding of spacetime. These deformations introduce a quantum parameter – ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

Hoboken, N.J., July 14, 2025 — Quantum networking is being rapidly developed world-wide. It is a key quantum technology that will enable a global quantum internet: the ability to deploy secure ...
