“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

Lattice gauge theory provides a powerful framework for discretising gauge theories to explore the fundamental interactions that underlie particle physics and complex condensed matter phenomena. By ...

An international team of physicists has proven new theorems in quantum mechanics that describe the 'energy landscapes' of collections of quantum particles. Their work addresses decades-old questions, ...

Nearly half a century ago, physicists proposed that the universe might be trapped in a metastable state known as a false ...

For the first time, researchers in China have accurately quantified how chaos increases in a quantum many-body system as it evolves over time. Combining experiments and theory, a team led by Yu-Chen ...

If true, the idea would blow past one of physics’ most sacred limits: that parallel versions of reality can never talk to ...

You might say it all started with a spot of hay fever. In June 1925, a young physicist named Werner Heisenberg retreated to the barren island of Helgoland in the North Sea, seeking respite from his ...

By applying new methods of machine learning to quantum chemistry research, Heidelberg University scientists have made significant strides in computational chemistry. They have achieved a major ...

Few scientific ideas have leapt from philosophy seminars to dinner-table debates as quickly as the claim that our universe ...

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.
