Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths generalize the familiar trajectories predicted by Einstein’s general theory of ...

Physicists are quietly rewriting the rulebook for how we might cross the gulf between stars, not by bolting bigger rockets to ...

Let’s talk about quantum gravity experiments that can be done here on Earth! If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple ...

Quantum gravity challenges the classical notion of spacetime by positing that the smooth, continuous fabric described by general relativity may arise from more fundamental, non-spatiotemporal entities ...

The field of quantum deformations explores systematic modifications of classical symmetry algebras that underpin our understanding of spacetime. These deformations introduce a quantum parameter – ...

Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time and the latter a point in space, but in both cases the normally ...

Hoboken, N.J., July 14, 2025 — Quantum networking is being rapidly developed world-wide. It is a key quantum technology that will enable a global quantum internet: the ability to deploy secure ...

A South Korean physicist has proposed a theoretical framework that could support the unification of quantum mechanics and the ...

Most of today’s leading theoretical physicists have a shared perspective about what the next revolution in physics will look like. They think reconciling Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity ...

What if gravity isn’t weirdly quantum at all, but rather … just a bit messy? The holy grail of theoretical physics is to find the long-sought theory of quantum gravity. But what if this theory is as ...

If you wave your hand in front of your face, you won’t notice anything particularly interesting. Perhaps a gentle waft of air against your cheek – that’s about it. No epiphany. No major sign that ...
