Columnist Natalie Wolchover examines the latest developments in the “forever war” over whether string theory can describe the ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of gravity, which explains the behavior of stars, planets, and the structure of the ...

Physicists at TU Wien have developed a new mathematical approach that could help bridge the long-standing divide between quantum theory and Einstein’s general relativity. By rethinking how particles ...

With $20 M funding so far, Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder Mission is intended to “advance U.S. space sensing”. Variable: a NASA map of Earth’s gravity. Click for info. Infleqtion, a developer ...

Infleqtion, which designs and builds quantum computers, precision sensors, and quantum software, is collaborating with NASA to launch the world's first quantum gravity sensor into low Earth orbit.

With more than $20 million in contracted mission funding to date, the Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder Mission, Led by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, Advances U.S.

IonQ and D-Wave Quantum are taking different approaches to quantum computing. Their risks of failure are much higher than their chances of success. Quantum computing is an emerging industry that is ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) We know that Einstein’s general relativity is, strictly speaking, wrong. That’s because it doesn’t account for quantum effects despite the fact that those effects really do ...

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity warps light in space. Once thought to exist only on paper, this effect has now ...

Quantum gravity is a research area in theoretical physics that seeks a consistent, predictive framework unifying general relativity with quantum mechanics by quantizing the gravitational field. It ...
