A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball ...

Physicists have used a cutting-edge quantum computer to simulate a complex particle theory in two dimensions. Unlike ...

From the mid-1980s, string theory set up a possible framework to approach quantum gravity using a 'top-down' approach. The effective field theory approach to strong forces drove the development of ...

Peter Badge / Typos1 / The Abel Prize. This year, the Abel Prize — the field’s highest honor — has been awarded to Masaki ...

An international team of researchers has found a surprisingly simple relationship between the rates of energy and information transmission across an interface connecting two quantum field theories.

Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity, which explains what happens when things move very fast – to create what are known as quantum field theories. Three different quantum field ...

including string theory, classical and quantum gravity, quantum field theory, holography, quantum information theory, hard condensed matter theory, quantum statistical mechanics, theoretical cosmology ...

If gravity arises from entropy, scientists could unite Einstein's general relativity with the quantum realm while shedding light on dark matter and dark energy.

The use of quantum relative entropy could also have implications for understanding dark matter and the expansion of the Universe, providing a theoretical framework to explore these cosmological ...

Highly charged heavy ions form a very suitable experimental field for investigating quantum electrodynamics (QED), the ...
