Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama themselves. A new theoretical framework now flips that script, treating space ...

Can a single particle have a temperature? It may seem impossible with our standard understanding of temperature, but ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

Gravity has become an unlikely viral villain, blamed for an imagined global blackout in which the planet briefly lets go of ...

Hoboken, N.J., July 14, 2025 — Quantum networking is being rapidly developed world-wide. It is a key quantum technology that will enable a global quantum internet: the ability to deploy secure ...

Scalar field dynamics in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime remains a focal point of modern theoretical physics owing to its rich interplay between gravitational phenomena and field theory. The study of ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at once, described by a mathematical object called a wavefunction.
