Welcome to Stevens! As you begin your college journey (hopefully as a Duck!) I thought I would write this week’s column in a style more like “vintage” submissions from For Math’s Sake’s early days ...

Once a baffling theory, quantum mechanics has evolved into a driving force behind modern technology and frontier research.

Physics Nobel Laureate John Martinis discussed his quantum physics research and offered academic advice to a packed ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space and time has remained fundamentally disconnected. Relativity unifies space ...

I will then discuss how these methods can be leveraged to implement topological braiding operations by encircling exceptional points in the spectrum of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Bio: Hugo Ribeiro is ...

Picture Victorian London, but its skies are filled with airships. Steam-powered robots crowd the streets, mingling with people in top hats and petticoats. That type of retrofuturistic mash-up is the ...

In the everyday world that humans experience, objects behave in a predictable way, explained by classical physics. One of the important aspects of classical physics is that nothing, not even ...

What if the flow of time isn’t as one-way as it seems? Researchers from the University of Surrey have uncovered evidence that in the strange world of quantum physics, time could theoretically run both ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

For more than a century, gravity and quantum physics have stubbornly resisted a common language, one describing the smooth curvature of spacetime, the other the jittery statistics of particles and ...
