The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation ...

A newly discovered set of mathematical equations describes how to turn any sequence of random events into a clock, scientists ...

A pair of scientists from the UK recently published a pre-print research paper discussing the theory of a universe with no beginning. Imagine it: our universe has always existed. The Big Bang either ...

The universe is governed by two sets of seemingly incompatible laws of physics – there’s the classical physics we’re used to on our scale, and the spooky world of quantum physics on the atomic scale.

Scientists have finally unlocked a way to identify the elusive W state of quantum entanglement, solving a decades-old problem ...

Quantum blobs: this latest research borrowed from ideas about how diffusion occurs in fluids. (Courtesy: iStock/3quarks) Describing how matter behaves at the quantum-mechanical level is notoriously ...

If spacetime is classical, it should undergo random fluctuations, which could in turn change the mass of objects by tiny amounts over time. One experiment the team suggests is that measuring an object ...

Researchers have proposed a new interpretation of classical physics without real numbers. This new study challenges the traditional view of classical physics as deterministic. Researchers from the ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered ...

Classical physics encompasses the body of theory developed over the past few centuries that describes the behaviour of macroscopic systems. Rooted in Newton’s laws of motion and gravitation, the ...

Going to smaller and smaller distance scales reveals more fundamental views of nature, which means if we can understand and describe the smallest scales, we can build our way to an understanding of ...
