Gravity is the only major force in the universe that doesn’t fit into our current quantum framework, driving the pursuit of a ...

At a singularity, the laws of physics as we know them suffer a complete breakdown. So such objects really shouldn’t exist.

A theoretical superconductor in which pairs of elementary particles circulate around a chiral axis displays quantum behaviours that could reveal the elusive secrets of quantum gravity, a study ...

Scientists have proposed a new test to hopefully help shed some light on quantum gravity. Gravity is the only major force in the universe that doesn’t fit into our current quantum framework ...

The reference frames from which observers view quantum events can themselves have multiple possible locations at once — an insight with potentially major ramifications. A new experimental proposal ...

Scientists have determined a way to measure gravity on microscopic levels, perhaps bringing them closer to forming a theory ...

Scientists developed a new model, which provides mathematical evidence that singularities are hidden inside black holes.

Two recent developments suggest how familiar properties of gravity and matter may emerge from the quantum geometry that underlies loop quantum gravity. In everyday situations, and even in current ...

A mechanism for gravity is discussed in depth, which emerges as a quantum effect on quantum space-time within Matrix Theory. Using explicit examples and exercises, readers will develop a physical ...

A multi-institutional team of physicists is proposing an experiment to test whether gravity behaves as a quantum entity when ...

The quantum and gravitational theory group of the Brandeis Physics Department conducts research on a range of topics in theoretical physics, including string theory, classical and quantum gravity, ...

Universal boundary that distinguishes effective approximate error correction codes from ineffective ones turns out to be ...
