Louisiana Tech University senior Jesse Webb will represent the United States this April at the NYU Abu Dhabi International ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

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

The parity-identification problem fits naturally into this landscape. Parity is a global property, insensitive to most local details. In this respect, it resembles many other quantities studied in ...

The physics preceptor sat down with Fifteen Minutes to discuss New York City, interdisciplinarity, and the origins of math.

Preserving quantum information is key to developing useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow laws of thermodynamics, eventually leading to information ...

Nalini Anantharaman is a modern mathematics and physics titan, renowned for her unique ability to find order within the heart of randomness. As a leading French mathematician, she has become the world ...

I N 2025 A GROUP of theoretical physicists studying the behaviour of fundamental particles called gluons hit a brick wall in their calculations. In search of a fresh perspective, the physicists teamed ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

John von Neumann came about as close as humanly possible to embodying the Platonic ideal of a genius. Conversant in ancient Greek by age 6, the Hungarian made significant mathematical advances in his ...

Scientists found exotic prime numbers may play a role in black hole physics, revealing a surprising connection between number theory and the extreme environments of the universe.

Born in Paris in 1976, Nalini Anantharaman is a leading French mathematician known for her pioneering work in quantum chaos and spectral geometry. A professor at the Collège de France, she has ...
