For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...

Quantum computing is slowly entering the mainstream, as more people discuss the technology and its potential within ...

Photo of the experimental setup to couple MWs to N- 𝑉⁢s using grape dimers. A stripped optical fiber with N- 𝑉 spins, cantilevered from a rod, lies between two grapes. The grapes were positioned on ...

John von Neumann came about as close as humanly possible to embodying the Platonic ideal of a genius. Conversant in ancient Greek by age 6, the Hungarian made significant mathematical advances in his ...

Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a ...

Electrons are usually described as particles, but in a rare quantum material, that picture completely breaks down ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The ...

Quantum physicists are edging closer to a kind of controlled transmutation, not of lead into gold, but of one electronic reality into another. By steering exotic entities called excitons, researchers ...

To alumnus Gal Weitz (EngrPhys, ApMath’22), Boulder was a “dream destination” for undergrad. Now working in quantitative finance, Weitz shares how his education at CU Boulder set him up for success in ...
