Leader and Physics Quantum theory at 100: Let’s celebrate its power and provocation Quantum theory started with a bout of hay fever, and went on to transform our view of the universe – but its ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, connects quantum ...

"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 ...

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of modern quantum mechanics, a survey asked physicists for their takes on some hot questions in quantum theory.

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

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.
