For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose consciousness under anesthesia.

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

With support from the W. M. Keck Foundation, a Stevens–Yale collaboration is now transforming graviton detection from a ...

Strongly interacting systems play an important role in quantum physics and quantum chemistry. Stochastic methods such as Monte Carlo simulations are a proven method for investigating such systems.

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

If a quantum computer can solve a problem that a classical computer cannot, that doesn’t automatically mean the solution will be hard to check. Take, for example, the problem of factoring large ...
