A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Why Gravity Resists Unification The Standard Model is built on a framework called quantum field theory. This theory merges classical field theory, quantum mechanics, and special relativity.

The reality we understand and interact with daily might, according to some scientists, be nothing more than an elaborate ...

Aaron Lauda has been exploring an area of mathematics that most physicists have seen little use for, wondering if it might have practical applications. In a twist even he didn’t expect, it turns out ...

According to Einstein’s theory of gravity, black holes have only a small handful of distinguishing characteristics. Quantum ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, connects quantum ...

Researchers captured the first-ever images of atoms freely interacting in space, offering a rare glimpse into quantum behavior in real time.

For a century, quantum theory has passed every experimental test, but physicists can’t agree on how to use it to paint a picture of our reality – or even whether that is possible ...
