Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does ...

Diagrammatic representation of the entropic quantum gravity action. The action for gravity is given by the quantum relative entropy between the metric of the manifold and the metric induced by the ...

Ask a bunch of physicists to explain a quantum experiment and you’re unlikely to get the same description twice. Everyone agrees that the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics is peerless at ...

Not even quantum objects can be in this many places at one time. But that’s the beauty of Quantum Week at Yale (QWAY), an annual event offering programming for all levels of interest in quantum ...

By Niklas Pollard and Johan Ahlander STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -U.S.-based scientists John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis ...

Famed physicist Stephen Hawking took gravity to its ultimate limits. In doing so, he made a number of significant advancements in our understanding of black holes, cosmology and quantum gravity. Plus, ...

Join Curt Jaimungal talks to Harvard physicist Jacob Barandes and Scott Aaronson. Jacob Barandes claims quantum mechanics can be reformulated without wave functions. Barandes has a new formulation of ...

Winners Three scientists shared the Nobel Prize in physics for demonstrating how quantum mechanics work on a new scale, with potential implications for the next generation of quantum technology. ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

I have been to more scientific conferences than I care to count, but a recent meeting held on the island of Helgoland to celebrate the centenary of quantum mechanics is one of the strangest – in a ...

"Although quantum mechanics has been successful with microscopic particles, such as photons and atoms, it has not been explored to what extent quantum mechanics is correct at macroscopic scales," says ...
