Computer Scientists Prove That Heat Destroys Quantum Entanglement
...physics compete with the laws of thermodynamics, and things get messy. At very low temperatures, entanglement can spread over long distances, enveloping many atoms and giving rise to strange phenomena...
How Artificial Intelligence Can Supercharge the Search for New Particles
...billions of collisions to a more manageable number, they may be inadvertently deleting evidence for new physics. “We’re always afraid we’re throwing the baby away with the bathwater,” said Kyle...
Physicists Hunt for the Big Bang’s Triangles
...physics. So goes the story of cosmic inflation, the modern version of the Big Bang theory. That single short, outrageous growth spurt fits all existing cosmological data well and accounts...
Newfound Wormhole Allows Information to Escape Black Holes
...an intriguing talk at the Strings conference in South Korea. The speaker, Juan Maldacena, a professor of physics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, had recently...
How the Universe Got Its Bounce Back
...ways that bounces could conceivably occur. One of the models, described in a paper that will appear in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, comes from Anna Ijjas of...
A New Experiment Casts Doubt on the Leading Theory of the Nucleus
...theorist at the French National Center for Scientific Research, said Bacca and her colleagues have exposed a significant problem in nuclear physics. They’ve found, he said, an instance where our...
Inside the Knotty World of ‘Anyon’ Particles
A new class of quantum particle is about to emerge from the tangled considerations of quantum statistics. [No Caption] I. Prior to the emergence of quantum mechanics, fundamental physics was...
How the Hidden Higgs Could Reveal Our Universe’s Dark Sector
...particle physics. But it’s possible that the LHC has been producing such pivotal new particles all along, and that we’re just not seeing them. “The core of the story,” said...
‘Quantum Atmospheres’ May Reveal Secrets of Matter
...a ceramic-like insulator. Topological insulators have drawn attention for their unusual physics as well as for their potential use in quantum computers and so-called spintronic devices, which utilize electrons’ spins...
