Scientists have discovered a way to create black holes without the mysterious singularities where physics breaks down. By ...

Galaxies, planets, black holes: to most people, everything about our Universe sounds and feels enormous. But while it’s true ...

The quantum and gravitational theory group of the Brandeis Physics Department conducts research on a range of topics in theoretical physics, including string theory, classical and quantum gravity, ...

Abstract: The no-cloning principle has played a foundational role in quantum information and cryptography. Following a long-standing tradition of studying quantum mechanical phenomena through the lens ...

A variation on the theory of quantum gravity — the unification of quantum mechanics and Einstein's general relativity — could ...

Microsoft and UC Santa Barbara researchers have unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, marking a major step ...

Nature Research Intelligence Topics enable transformational understanding and discovery in research by categorising any document into meaningful, accessible topics. Read this blog to understand ...

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of quarks and gluons, and has wide applicability in collider physics experiments such as the LHC. Gravity is described by a very different theory (General ...

The research, led by Professor Alexander Balatsky (Nordita and KTH) and Pedram Roushan (Google's project leader in quantum computing), highlights a surprising interplay between gravity and quantum ...

Earth-bound experiments are subject to acceleration due to the Earth's gravity, and the corresponding energy shifts can be large compared with the temperature and quantum mechanical energy of ...
