The physics of the innermost shells of atoms is qualitatively different in several respect from that of outer electrons. For single deep holes, correlation effects are slight, while the effects of ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

Scientists are using trapped ions in cutting-edge experiments to hunt for signs of an undiscovered particle that might help ...

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum ...

Part of our International Year of Quantum Science and Technology coverage More than 300 top quantum physicists gathered ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

Under the right conditions, this collapse doesn’t end in a singularity — instead, it bounces and begins expanding again,” said University of Portsmouth professor Enrique Gaztañaga in a statement that ...

A physicist proposes that time has three dimensions instead of one, which could finally unite quantum mechanics and ...

One is the rigorous formulation of quantum Yang-Mills theory, a Millennium Prize Problem. "For example, one of the famous Millennium Problems aims to establish a rigorous mathematical foundation for ...

A team of physicists has created the shortest hard X-ray pulses ever recorded, revealing previously unseen lasing behaviors in inner-shell electrons. (Artist’s concept). Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...

The Millsaps chemistry faculty had prior connections with the University of Florida and told me about the new Quantum Theory Project (QTP), started in 1960 by Per-Olov Löwdin and joined by John C.
