Many governments and tech companies are investing heavily in quantum technologies. In New Zealand, the recently announced Institute for Advanced Technology is also envisioned to focus on this area of ...

Pick up any science fiction book from the 1960s, and you’ll find parallel dimensions explained through magic portals or mysterious machines that work “just because.” Today’s readers want stories that ...

Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball rolling in ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. Paradoxically, his theory of relativity has become an essential tool for ...

A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of ...

QUANTUM theory earned its exalted status by providing peerlessly accurate predictions of the behaviour of atoms and molecules, revealing the world of the very small in all its glorious strangeness.
