Study identifies recipe for Goldilocks quantum phase transitions
University of Miami researchers have found that crossing a quantum phase transition at just-the-right speed generates the richest, most complex…
New paper shows how spacetime is built from quantum entanglement
A new paper to be published in Physical Review Letters has made a significant step toward unifying general relativity and…
Mysterious “action at a distance” between liquids may be commonplace
Back in 2010, researchers found that superfluid helium reservoirs stored in separate containers could behave collectively. Now, a new theoretical…
First direct evidence supporting cosmic inflation
Scientists announced today that they have successfully measured a B-mode polarization signal in the Universe’s cosmic microwave background (CMB). The…
Quasars at opposite ends of the Universe could close a loophole in quantum mechanics
Physicists have proposed an experiment that may close the last major loophole of Bell’s inequality – a 50-year-old theorem that,…
Entangled quarks hint at reconciliation of quantum mechanics and general relativity
Building on related research that showed how two entangled black holes could be linked by a wormhole, an MIT physicist…
