Cosmology and quantum physics both offer tantalizing possibilities that we inhabit just one reality among many. But testing ...

It’s one quantum leap for mankind. Parallel dimensions are no longer restricted to Marvel flicks. Google’s cutting-edge quantum chip Willow has prompted discussions among scientists about the ...

Could our universe be expanding then shrinking back into a tiny point, reliving a kind of big bang over and over again? Probably not, according to a mathematical analysis that argues that the laws of ...

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. When you purchase through links on our ...

A new study by researchers from the University of Barcelona and the University of Padua challenges one of the core ideas of modern cosmology: that the Universe began with a rapid expansion called ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Scientists using Google’s quantum processor have taken a major step toward unraveling the deepest mysteries of the universe. By simulating fundamental interactions described by gauge theories, the ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...

Physicists long believed time was a basic feature of the universe. But it may just emerge from cosmic information.
