Quantum gravity and cosmology represent a frontier in theoretical physics where the principles of quantum mechanics are integrated with the framework of general relativity. This synthesis is crucial ...

The study of quantum gravity seeks a synthesis between quantum mechanics and general relativity, and Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) has emerged as a promising nonperturbative approach. In CDT, ...

Their work introduces a new concept called q-desics, short for quantum-corrected paths through space–time. These paths generalize the familiar trajectories predicted by Einstein’s general theory of ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An abstract illustration of quantum particles entangling. New research aims to unite gravity with ...

Einstein’s theory of general relativity explains that gravity is caused by a curvature of the directions of space and time. The most familiar manifestation of this is the Earth’s gravity, which keeps ...

Quantum gravity is the missing link between general relativity and quantum mechanics, the yet-to-be-discovered key to a unified theory capable of explaining both the infinitely large and the ...

For decades, physicists have faced one of science’s greatest puzzles: merging quantum mechanics, which describes tiny particles, with general relativity, which explains the universe’s vast structures.

Five students in the Quantum Scholars program have been awarded a scholarship in honor of Jennifer Turner-Valle, an alumna of CU Boulder Physics who passed away in 2023. The scholarships provide ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...
