Researchers at the University of Twente and Utrecht University demonstrated for the first time that quantum states in the ...

Mean-field theory and semiclassical methods constitute vital frameworks in contemporary quantum mechanics. By replacing the intricate web of particle interactions with an average or “mean” field, mean ...

Quantum gravity remains one of the big missing pieces of a Grand Unified Theory that could bridge quantum field theory and general relativity. Knowing that quantum gravity solutions must resemble ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...
