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 ...

Alexander Polyakov, a theoretical physicist now at Princeton University, caught a glimpse of the future of quantum theory in 1981. A range of mysteries, from the wiggling of strings to the binding of ...

Generalized functions, often formulated as distributions, have become indispensable in the rigorous mathematical formulation of quantum field theory (QFT). These constructs extend the classical notion ...

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, ...
