Noncommutative Quantum Field Theory represents an ambitious extension of standard quantum field theory that incorporates a fundamental noncommutativity in the structure of spacetime. In these models, ...

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 ...

An international research team has sparked interest in the scientific community with results in quantum physics. In their current study, the researchers reinterpret the Higgs mechanism, which gives ...

A new way of explaining gravity could bring us a step closer to resolving the heretofore irresolvable differences it has with quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki at Aalto ...

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 ...

An international team of researchers has found a simple relationship between the rates of energy and information transmission across an interface connecting two quantum field theories. An ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

Quantum electrodynamics was put to the test with highly charged uranium ions To put one of physicists’ most important theories to the test, scientists go to extremes. Extremely strong electromagnetic ...

Researchers at the University of Twente and Utrecht University demonstrated for the first time that quantum states in the ...
