Sebastian Mizera just joined the physics department as an assistant professor, researching quantum field theory.

Quantum theory and general relativity have long described the universe with incompatible languages, one speaking in ...

A radical new theory begins with a central claim: consciousness is the fundamental field of reality; time, space, and matter ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

In the 18th century, the scientific world was drunk on Newtonian certainty. The universe was a clockwork mechanism, ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

Quanta Books is delighted to announce two new upcoming books by mathematician Terence Tao and theoretical physicist David ...

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.

Generalized functions, often formulated as distributions, have become indispensable in the rigorous mathematical formulation of quantum field theory (QFT). These constructs extend the classical notion ...

For close to a century, scientists have been trying to marry Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and quantum ...

The speed of light has been one of science’s most trusted markers of stability. For more than a century, the idea that light moves through space at a constant speed has supported some of physics’ most ...
