A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

The study of quantum dynamics in conjunction with nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) sits at the confluence of mathematical physics, quantum mechanics and nonlinear analysis. This field ...

Quantum computers work by applying quantum operations, such as quantum gates, to delicate quantum states. Ideally, quantum ...

The evolution of quantum mechanics has continuously deepened our understanding of the microcosm, guiding researchers from the seminal formulation of the Schrödinger equation to more refined ...

Although Navier–Stokes equations are the foundation of modern hydrodynamics, adapting them to quantum systems has so far been a major challenge. Researchers from the Faculty of Physics at the ...

No matter how hard we try, we can't remember tomorrow. And physicists have no idea why. In hope of discovering the source of time's river, University of Surrey physicists Thomas Guff, Chintalpati ...

What exactly is … everything? What is space-time? At one extreme, you’ve got the weird rules of quantum physics that deal with subatomic particles. At the other extreme, you’ve got the vast expanses ...

Physicists have developed a way to model quantum systems on everyday computers, making it easier to run complex simulations without relying on supercomputers or artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The ...

The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving some mathematical graffiti into Dublin's Broome Bridge in 1843. Subscribe to ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...
