In holographic theories, physicists may have traced the pliability of space-time to its quantum roots: a measure of ...

Diagrammatic representation of the entropic quantum gravity action. The action for gravity is given by the quantum relative entropy between the metric of the manifold and the metric induced by the ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

Waterloo scientists have developed a new way to understand how the universe began, and it could change what we know about the Big Bang and the earliest moments of cosmic history. Their work suggests ...

A rewrite of quantum mechanics that includes the force of gravity could finally achieve one of physicists’ biggest goals and ...

Exactly 100 years ago, famed Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (yes, the cat guy) postulated his eponymous equation that explains how particles in quantum physics behave. A key component of quantum ...

Quantum mechanics and cosmology intersect in attempts to explain the origin, composition and large-scale behaviour of the universe. At the smallest scales, quantum fluctuations in the early universe ...

As Joe Howlett points out, "the Schrödinger equation remains physicists’ foremost window into the quantum realm. It tells scientists how that strange world works; that is, how quantum objects interact ...
