How do you calculate infinite quantum outcomes? Feynman Diagrams. The equations of quantum field theory allow us to calculate the behaviour of subatomic particles by expressing them as vibrations in ...

Quantum mechanics is perhaps the most unintuitive theory ever devised. And yet it’s also the most successful, in terms of sheer predictive power. Simply by following the math of quantum mechanics, ...

For more than a century, physicists have been trying to reconcile the smooth geometry of gravity with the jittery ...

This article is the first part of a series about quantum field theory published by Quanta Magazine. Other stories in the series can be found here. Over the past century, quantum field theory has ...

Physicists have chased a unified description of nature for more than a century, yet quantum theory and gravity have ...

Mean-field theory and semiclassical methods constitute vital frameworks in contemporary quantum mechanics. By replacing the intricate web of particle interactions with an average or “mean” field, mean ...

The study of Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (SPDEs) occupies a central position in the modern analysis of physical systems where randomness and uncertainty play crucial roles. By ...
