The prevailing assumption has been that Einstein's theory of gravity must be modified, or 'quantized', in order to fit within quantum theory. This is the approach of two leading candidates for a ...

With the help of a new experiment, researchers have succeeded in confirming a ten-year-old theoretical study, which connects one of the most fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics -- the ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

Physicists have long suspected that there is a layer of physical reality beneath quantum theory and a new mathematical model unveils just how strange it might be ...

This spring marks the end of physics Professor Peter Love’s quantum information and quantum computing lab group’s time at ...

Quantum theory is fundamentally a probabilistic description of nature in which the outcomes of measurements are governed by the Born rule and encoded in complex amplitudes or density operators. Beyond ...
