New study proposes using atomic clocks to probe the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity in spacetime.

For more than a century, physics has been built on two great theories. Einstein's general relativity explains gravity as the ...

For decades, quantum physics and general relativity have stood as two powerful but separate theories. Quantum physics explains the behavior of tiny particles like atoms and photons. General relativity ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Recent discoveries in the field of quantum physics have identified a new class of particles known as anyons, which hold the potential to bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and classical physics.

The gravity quantum field is calculated in flat spacetime. The curved classical metric is calculated using the expectation value of the gravity quantum field. At long last, a unified theory combining ...

Quantum gravity strives to reconcile the seemingly disparate realms of general relativity and quantum mechanics. Central to this endeavour is the realisation that classical concepts of spacetime may ...

In an article published in Communications Physics, researchers from the Université libre de Bruxelles and the Institute for ...

A century since Werner Heisenberg changed the course of physics, five of the world’s leading physicists examine the greatest achievements of quantum mechanics and look forward to the next 100 years, ...
