New Physics Needed? Maybe | Newswise
Newswise — DALLAS (SMU) – An unexpected finding about how our universe formed is again raising the question: do we need new physics? The answer could fundamentally change what physics…
Were Bohr and von Neumann really in conflict over quantum measurements?
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Analysis suggests that the two pioneers of quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr and John von Neumann, may have had more similar views than previously thought regarding the…
Four Argonne Scientists Receive 2024 DOE Early Career Research Awards
Newswise — Recipients of the 2024 U.S. Department of Energy’s Early Career Research Program are each awarded $550,000 a year for five years to help them answer complex questions. Four…
Theoretical physicists develop method to model a central theory of quantum gravity in the laboratory
Illustration of the theory used to model quantum gravity: The lattice simulates a curved space-time—near the boundary, the lattice is denser due to the curvature. The interacting electrical signals (yellow,…
Research finds surprisingly simple relationship
by Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe, The University of Tokyo Diagram of a boundary surface shows how in order to transmit energy, information must also…
Floquet engineering tunes ultracold molecule interactions and produces two-axis twisting dynamics
Pulse sequences for generating two-axis twisting rotate the spins of KRb molecules, transforming the spin exchange interactions. Credit: Steven Burrows/Ye Group The interactions between quantum spins underlie some of the…
