Death is the inescapable conclusion of life. But what happens after death is still a highly debated topic. Throw into the mix a heady combination of religious belief and scientific theories, and you ...

Google’s Willow quantum chip reveals a non-equilibrium exotic phase of matter; spews more parallel universe theories.

Recent progress on both analog and digital simulations of quantum fields foreshadows a future in which quantum computers ...

I've long been fascinated by the fundamental mystery of our universe's origin. In my work, I explore an alternative to the traditional singularity-based models of cosmology. Instead of a universe ...

In 2022 three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for proving something astonishing: the universe is not locally real. In other words, particles don’t have fixed properties until they are ...

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

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, but deep down, it's not. Over enormous timescales, it could suddenly tip ...

First Layer: Quantum Code—The Underlying Programming Language of the Universe To understand how the classical world emerges, one must first grasp the "quantum code" that constructs everything. 1.

Today, let's talk about a super thrilling topic — the 'quantum singularity' at the center of black holes. It is said to be ...
