Physicists from Adolfo Ibáñez University and Columbia University have identified stable, 'frozen-in' gravitational structures that remain preserved as spacetime evolves. Using analogies from fluid ...

Quantum electrodynamics, a school of quantum mechanics, is the best-tested theory in physics. It describes all electrical and magnetic interactions of light and matter. In the macroscopic world, ...

Electrostatics and electrodynamics together describe the behaviour of electric charges, fields and their interaction with matter over both static and time‐varying regimes. In electrostatics, ...

The start of World War II threw quantum theory research into disarray. Many of the European physicists left Europe all together, and research moved across the ocean to the shores of the United States.

Simulation of quantum chemistry has become one of the killer applications of quantum computers. In recent years, Google, IBM, and other IT companies have been engineering better and better ...

Quantum electrodynamics in waveguide systems explores how individual quantum emitters interact with confined light modes guided along one-dimensional structures. By engineering the dispersive and ...

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has been a cornerstone of the standard model, withstanding the scrutiny of ...

The fundamental laws of physics are based on symmetries that, among other things, determine the interactions between charged particles. Using ultracold atoms, researchers have experimentally ...
