This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose consciousness under anesthesia.

Strongly interacting systems play an important role in quantum physics and quantum chemistry. Stochastic methods such as Monte Carlo simulations are a proven method for investigating such systems.

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Quantum nano-mechanics. Quantum jumps in atomic physics. Continuous transitions between quantum states in quantum‒classical mechanics for molecular and chemical physics involve both chaotic (dozy ...
