In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the ...

A team of physicists has designed quantum algorithms that can model one of the most elusive behaviors in nature: a photon flipping its polarization inside an extreme electromagnetic field. The work, ...

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has ...

A photon enters an extraordinarily intense laser field. When it exits, its polarization has rotated, as though empty space ...

In the quirky, quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is ...

The universe is full of fascinating physics that have been experimentally confirmed but are still far from fully explained. In an unpublished paper, circa 2018, titled The P2P Simulation Hypothesis ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are leading a new project to ensure that the fastest supercomputers can keep up with big data from high energy physics research. ...

Physicists have shown that simulating models of hypothetical time travel can solve experimental problems that appear impossible to solve using standard physics. Physicists have shown that simulating ...

In an essay for The Conversation, physicist Melvin Vopson of the University of Portsmouth in England laid out the theory behind his simulation test, which builds on the idea that a “simulated universe ...
