Over the past decades, the mathematical formulation of physical theories has evolved to provide a unified framework that bridges classical mechanics, quantum mechanics and quantum information theory.

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2025 honors scaled-up quantum physics—while sidestepping controversies swirling around quantum ...

A radical theory that consistently unifies gravity and quantum mechanics while preserving Einstein's classical concept of spacetime has been announced in two papers published simultaneously by UCL ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

For more than a decade, scientists have been investigating ways to develop a “quantum battery” that stores energy using photons rather than electrons or ions. While quantum batteries—thanks to ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis shared the prize for work that enabled the creation of macroscopic ...

In the 100th-anniversary year of quantum mechanics, which describes the universe at its smallest, most fundamental scales, ...

Physicist Sean Carroll explores the unsettling implications of classical mechanics, from Newton’s laws to Laplace’s thought ...
