In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they ...
Researchers have simulated "false vacuum decay," a theoretical quantum process often called the "bubble of doom" that could ...
When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...
The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the ...
The idea that everything that exists can be built from the bottom up has long held sway among physicists. Now, a new kind of ...
Do games have anything deeper to say about physics, or vice versa? Maybe. Most surprisingly, the connection might arise at the most fundamental level of all: quantum physics. —Chiu Fan Lee and Neil F.
To alumnus Gal Weitz (EngrPhys, ApMath’22), Boulder was a “dream destination” for undergrad. Now working in quantitative finance, Weitz shares how his education at CU Boulder set him up for success in ...
