The gauge bosons of the standard model of particle physics are responsible for three of the four known forces in the universe, conveyed through the exchange of virtual bosons. In electromagnetism, the ...

By remotely accessing an IBM quantum computer, a research scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has successfully ...

An international team led by Innsbruck quantum physicist Peter Zoller, together with the US company QuEra Computing, has directly observed a gauge field theory similar to models from particle physics ...

Modern physics theories highlight the key role of horizons—boundaries beyond which information cannot reach an observer—in a ...

Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University and director of Columbia’s Center for Theoretical Physics, is the author of “The Elegant Universe” and “Until the End of ...

Geometric methods underpin much of modern string and field theory, offering a unifying language to describe the rich tapestry of spacetime, gauge symmetries and dualities. Classical differential ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A team of Purdue University researchers has been awarded a $1 million W.M. Keck Foundation grant to experimentally test an early prediction originated from string theory: An ...

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 ...
