Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Nielsen and Chuang is the foundational text, covering algorithms, cryptography, and computational complexity. Qua ...

Nobel prizewinner Alain Aspect’s ‘crackpot’ studies of quantum entanglement have explored the tricks reality plays on us — and built on ideas from a physics great.

Quantum physics, also known as quantum mechanics, is one of the most fascinating and complex areas of modern science. In this video, we’ll break down the fundamentals of quantum physics in a way ...

The origin of consciousness is one of the greatest mysteries of science. One proposed solution, first suggested by Nobel Laureate and Oxford mathematician Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Stuart ...

Black hole and Big Bang singularities break our best theory of gravity. A trilogy of theorems hints that physicists must go to the ends of space and time to find a fix.

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Paradoxically, his theory of relativity has become an essential tool for ...

This latest clue about the architecture of consciousness supports a Nobel-Prize winner’s theory about how quantum physics works in your brain.

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of physics.

The hunch is that just as classical physics emerges from quantum physics, there might be a deeper theory from which quantum physics arises. But what would it look like?
