Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC) applies the non-perturbative techniques of loop quantum gravity to homogeneous cosmological models, yielding a quantum replacement of the classical big-bang singularity by ...

Tiny but ageing neutrinos can be used to test the very foundations of quantum theory at unprecedented cosmological time scales Schrodinger’s skinniest kittens Must the Schrodinger’s Cat be fat enough ...

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

Gravity is one of four fundamental interactions. The most precise description of this force is still provided by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, published in 1915, an entirely classical ...

Future quantum computing will require correlations between distant modules—a feature known as distributed entanglement.

Physicists are making new inroads into the world of post-quantum theories, uncovering what reality may look like on a level deeper and stranger than the already infamously odd quantum theory. In the ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...
