Mathematicians have struggled to understand the moduli space of graphs. A new paper uses tools from physics to peek inside. “That’s a super hard problem. It’s amazing they were able to,” said Dan ...

Noncommutative Quantum Field Theory represents an ambitious extension of standard quantum field theory that incorporates a fundamental noncommutativity in the structure of spacetime. In these models, ...

The lack of convergence between quantum laws and gravitation remains a persistent problem in physics. A recent advance, ...

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

Charles H. Bennett and Gilles Brassard, winners of this year’s Turing Award, spent their lives touting the advantages of the ...

Entanglement is a resource that is utilized on quantum devices to cary information on quantum bits (qubits), and is what gives a quantum computer its theoretical advantage over its classical ...

John von Neumann came about as close as humanly possible to embodying the Platonic ideal of a genius. Conversant in ancient Greek by age 6, the Hungarian made significant mathematical advances in his ...

Research findings are available online in the journal Science Advances. The original story “ Physicists use pulses of light ...

Quantum systems don’t fail quietly; they collapse in a flash. In less time than ...

Aaron Lauda has been exploring an area of mathematics that most physicists have seen little use for, wondering if it might have practical applications. In a twist even he didn’t expect, it turns out ...
