The simplified formula was developed to analyze local quantum entanglement in nanoscale materials. Credit: Osaka Metropolitan University Once described by Einstein as "spooky action at a distance," ...

For more than a century, Srinivasa Ramanujan’s uncanny formulas for the number pi have looked like pure mathematical ...

Ramanujan’s insights into pi are now guiding scientists toward a deeper understanding of how the universe works.

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...

At first glance, however, quantum physics does not really seem to adhere to this rule: Mathematically speaking, entropy in quantum systems always remains the same. A research team at TU Wien has now ...

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.

Quantum physics isn’t just complicated – after 100 years, there is an awful lot of it to understand. This makes writing an accessible yet comprehensive book about the topic a challenge in both ...

Down at the level of atoms and electrons, quantum physics describes the behavior of the very smallest objects. Solar panels, LED lights, your mobile phone and MRI scanners in hospitals: all of these ...

In the 1960s, a group of physicists and historians began a massive project meant to catalogue and record the history of quantum physics. It was called Sources for History of Quantum Physics (SHQP). As ...

Once described by Einstein as "spooky action at a distance," quantum entanglement may now seem less intimidating in light of new research findings. Osaka Metropolitan University physicists have ...
