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

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

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.

Researchers at IIT Bombay have proposed a new test, dynamical fidelity susceptibility (DFS), to measure the 'quantumness' of gravity, suggesting that conventional entanglement-based tests may be ...

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

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Bombay have developed a new diagnostic tool, dynamical fidelity susceptibility (DFS), to test the quantum nature of gravity.

A recent experiment at Fermilab has delivered intriguing results that challenge standard predictions, adding fuel to the ongoing quest for quantum gravity. These findings, which involve the behavior ...
