Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

Quantum theory is often sold as a story about tiny particles, but its real disruption lands squarely on our everyday sense of ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...

Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

Quantum gravity and field theory represent a frontier where the principles of quantum mechanics are reconciled with Einstein’s description of gravity. Researchers are seeking a consistent framework ...

Mean-field theory and semiclassical methods constitute vital frameworks in contemporary quantum mechanics. By replacing the intricate web of particle interactions with an average or “mean” field, mean ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize the ...

Physicists have demonstrated with unprecedented accuracy that the speed of light remains constant. In 1887, a landmark physics experiment was carried out by American researchers Michelson and Morley.

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S. have made a groundbreaking achievement after they captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space.

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is ...
