Recent research shows that gravity and quantum information are deeply connected and that the shape of spacetime can be traced back to the way information is stored in quantum fields. Einstein's theory ...

OpenAI says its models produced major results in local smoothing, computational complexity and quantum field theory. Experts are now examining the claims, while the full physics material remains ...

Oxford physicists have recreated a bizarre quantum effect in which a particle responds to a magnetic field without ever traveling through it. Using a hybrid quantum computer, they demonstrated how ...

A radical new approach suggests some of quantum theory’s most bizarre and inexplicable effects might be down to physics ...

Quantum mechanics has journeyed from a strange and controversial idea to the foundation of some of humanity’s most advanced technologies. Now researchers are pushing its boundaries even further, with ...

University of Chicago physicist Clay Córdova has been named a recipient of the 2026 New Horizons in Physics Prize for his work in quantum field theory. He was recognized alongside three colleagues: ...

The 2024 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics goes to John Cardy and Alexander Zamolodchikov for their work in applying field theory to diverse problems. The study of quantum fields is central to ...

In a new Nature Physics study, researchers demonstrated the Aharonov-Bohm effect in a quantum simulation of a lattice gauge theory using a hybrid trapped-ion quantum computer.

Pasqal’s quantum processor has moved from reproducing known physics to revealing behavior that theory did not predict, a key step toward quantum computers becoming tools that generate new scientific ...
