What happens when the smallest building blocks of matter refuse to play by the rules of traditional physics? For decades, ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has begun its first-ever collisions of oxygen ions, in the latest attempt to understand the ...

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

After that, the Universe began to cool. At this stage, quarks and gluons combined into baryons, such as protons and neutrons. At the same time, there was an asymmetric formation of both matter, which ...

Computational physicists use an approach called lattice QCD, which defines quarks and gluons on a 4D space-time grid. The MIT team’s grids are some of the largest for lattice QCD calculations.

IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leading commercial quantum computing and networking company, today announced the first known simulation using a quantum computer of a process called "neutrinoless double-beta ...
