Quantum computers ... and play an important role in condensed matter physics. The constituents of gauge theories, such as charged matter and electric gauge field, are governed by local gauge ...

It works wonderfully, explaining things from lasers and chemistry to the Higgs boson and the stability of matter ... But for all its successes, quantum field theory has its own puzzles.

On 4 August 2024, the great physicist Tsung-Dao Lee (also known as T D Lee) passed away at his home in San Francisco, aged 97 ...

Indeed, “parastatistics, and their apparent absence in nature, has been discussed since the dawn of quantum mechanics,” notes the paper. “The first concrete theory of parastatistics was ...

Topological insulators (TIs) are among the hottest topics in condensed matter physics today. They’re a bit strange: their surfaces conduct electricity, yet their interiors do not, instead acting as ...

In recent years, there have been attempts to describe the inside of a proton using quantum information tools, with partial ...

International research team awarded multi-million-dollar funding to develop and test next-generation superconductors through artificial intelligence and quantum geometry.
