A mind-bending theory called quantum immortality suggests that your consciousness shifts to parallel universes after you die.

A Gravity Theory That Could Rewrite the Universe’s First Moments The first fraction of a second after the Big Bang has always ...

A team of physicists have proposed a new idea for uniting quantum mechanics and gravity, which they believe could explain the ...

Most current models of the Big Bang rely on general relativity along with additional elements that are introduced to make the theory fit observations. In contrast, this new framework provides a more ...

The basic shape that best describes our expanding universe is also the hardest shape for physicists to understand.

Quantum processors operate in environments engineered to eliminate nearly all external interference. That just might make ...

A new experiment with momentum-entangled helium atoms could help unite quantum mechanics and general relativity.

A routine quantum optics technique just revealed an extraordinary secret: entangled light can carry incredibly complex ...

Quantum computers promise to revolutionize whole industries by outperforming classical computers on complex calculations.

The study of quantum gravity seeks a synthesis between quantum mechanics and general relativity, and Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) has emerged as a promising nonperturbative approach. In CDT, ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

A Quantum Beginning and a Classical Present The team focused on the universe’s early moments, when space and time itself might have existed in many states. Back then, the universe may have been in a ...
