A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

Quantum information theory is a field of study that examines how quantum technologies store and process information. Over the ...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a one-dimensional “quantum wire” using a gas of ultracold atoms. In this system, both ...

Setting aside the insane upheaval going on i n US science, this year’s Physics World Live series will give you a sense of ...

A rewarding book that offers a cogent look at the science’s history and the second quantum revolution that’s under way ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...
