More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Curiosity-driven research has long sparked technological transformations. A century ago, curiosity about atoms led to quantum mechanics, and eventually the transistor at the heart of modern computing.

Born in Paris in 1976, Nalini Anantharaman is a leading French mathematician known for her pioneering work in quantum chaos and spectral geometry. A professor at the Collège de France, she has ...

The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...

A 2,000-page monograph series proposes a new conceptual framework connecting quantum physics, gravitation and cosmological evolution.

Researchers have developed a method to model a central theory of quantum gravity in the laboratory. Their goal: to decipher previously unexplained phenomena in the quantum world. Gravity is no longer ...

Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in probabilities and the other in smooth curves of spacetime. A new line of work argues ...

Louisiana Tech University senior Jesse Webb will represent the United States this April at the NYU Abu Dhabi International ...

The parity-identification problem fits naturally into this landscape. Parity is a global property, insensitive to most local details. In this respect, it resembles many other quantities studied in ...

A physicist proposes that consciousness is the fundamental basis of reality, with matter and spacetime emerging from it.

Nalini Anantharaman is a modern mathematics and physics titan, renowned for her unique ability to find order within the heart of randomness. As a leading French mathematician, she has become the world ...
