For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has been a cornerstone of the ...

A team of physicists has designed quantum algorithms that can model one of the most elusive behaviors in nature: a photon ...

Lattice gauge theory provides a powerful framework for discretising gauge theories to explore the fundamental interactions that underlie particle physics and complex condensed matter phenomena. By ...

For almost as long as Lawrence Livermore has existed, scientists have been experimenting with materials to learn what happens to them under high pressure. In the brief instant of a high-explosive ...

For the first time, scientists have directly imaged the quantum process underlying superconductivity, a phenomenon in which ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

By adapting ideas from gauge theory, the researchers show how quantum information spread-out across a machine can be measured using only local checks, significantly lowering computing overhead. Their ...

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.
