Alex Keshavarzi digs into the showdown between two competing Standard Model predictions of the muon, which may reveal undiscovered particles hiding in the vacuum ...

What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world’s population – most of them ...

Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights ...

When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example, the number of electrons they have or even the quantum spin of their ...

Quantum calculations amount to sophisticated estimates. But in 1931, Hans Bethe intuited precisely how a chain of particles ...

For over a century, the Maxwell’s Demon paradox has haunted physics. This thought experiment suggests that a tiny, ...

The approach, called the Beryllium Electron capture in Superconducting Tunnel junctions experiment (BeEST) works because the ...

In the vast and enigmatic realm of quantum mechanics, where the rules of classical physics give way to probabilities and ...

False vacuum decay is a process of fundamental importance in quantum field theory. Here, a 5,564-qubit quantum annealer is used to simulate the dynamics of false vacuum decay and observe the ...
