A new study addresses a foundational problem in the theory of driven quantum matter by extending the Středa formula to ...

Knot theory is a branch of topology that has surprisingly practical applications, such as understanding how proteins coil DNA and how molecular structures remain stable. The theory’s central question: ...

An international team of researchers has identified a quantum counterpart to Bayes’ rule. The likelihood you assign to an ...

In 1931, Harvey Elliott White developed a device that traced out the shapes of electron clouds by approximating solutions to ...

Mathematicians have struggled to understand the moduli space of graphs. A new paper uses tools from physics to peek inside. “That’s a super hard problem. It’s amazing they were able to,” said Dan ...

To come up with a result as weird as this, you need to be using some equally mind-bending math – and indeed, this paradox comes to us from the world of set theoretic geometry. If that’s not familiar ...

The quantum universe is full of mysteries, and among them, quantum entanglement intrigues with its puzzling properties.

Calculus of variations establishes a framework to determine the extrema of functionals—mappings from functions to real numbers—which has been pivotal in elucidating natural principles such as the ...

Ten years ago, astronomers made history when they first detected ripples in spacetime, called gravitational waves, from the ...

Ten years after scientists first detected gravitational waves emerging from two colliding black holes, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA ...

An interesting new study by researchers at the University of Portsmouth, UK, describes the use of a mathematical method to sequence genomes based on information theory. The method offers an ...
