Researchers have simulated "false vacuum decay," a theoretical quantum process often called the "bubble of doom" that could ...

If our universe were in this false vacuum state, researchers fret that a strange chain reaction could trigger what’s called a ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to optimally simulate them on a computer? The answer comes from AI. Subscribe to our ...

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, ...

(Viaframe/Stone/Getty Images) Although our Universe appears to be stable, it might just be in a temporary state of false calm ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) provides a comprehensive framework for describing the fundamental interactions of matter and radiation. In the context of atom‐field interactions, QFT elucidates how atoms ...

Quantum gravity remains one of the big missing pieces of a Grand Unified Theory that could bridge quantum field theory and general relativity. Knowing that quantum gravity solutions must resemble ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

A long-standing challenge in physics has been to integrate gravity into the Standard Model, which successfully describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces. The difficulty lies in the ...
