A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

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 ...

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 ...

The study of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) occupies a central position in the modern analysis of physical systems where randomness and uncertainty play crucial roles. By ...

It’s time we talked about loop quantum gravity. What exactly is it? What are the loops? And can it really defeat string theory in our quest for a Theory of Everything? PBS Space Time is available to ...

Vladimir Fock occupies a distinctive place in the history of twentieth-century science, not only for his profound ...
