Hardy's paradox, created in 1992, hinted at a scenario haunting the edges of quantum physics. It presented a thought ...

A team of scientists in China recently used what’s essentially the quantum physics version of stage magic to demonstrate just how brittle our concept of reality is. Abracadabra, you don’t really exist ...

The notion that quantum reality is your reality looms as a rich and enticing possibility. Until very recently, the very prospect was all but unthinkable, however. In everyday life there appears to be ...

“This retroactive idea. It has to be that,” says Nobel Prize-winning mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose, reflecting on a problem about the building blocks of reality that has dogged physics for ...

A study has used the power of machine learning to overcome a key challenge affecting quantum devices. For the first time, the findings reveal a way to close the 'reality gap': the difference between ...

Most of us intuitively feel that reality ought to exist just fine on its own when we aren’t looking. If a tree falls in a forest when no one is around to hear the crash, the air still vibrates with ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Peter Evans receives funding from the Australian Research Council and the Foundational Questions Institute. The Nobel Prize in physics this year has been awarded “for experiments with entangled ...

Quantum computing is a term that has been generating a lot of excitement in the tech world. This cutting-edge field is different from the computing most of us are familiar with, which uses bits to ...
