Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits.

The innovative Celeritas project, led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, provides a software tool that makes sure simulations used to analyze particles can run on the fastest ...

Researchers used IBM’s quantum computers to create scalable quantum circuits that simulate matter under extreme conditions, offering new insight into fundamental forces and the origins of the universe ...

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the collection of discoveries and theories that describe the smallest units of matter and the interactions between energy and matter. According to this model, ...

A balloon drifting 37 kilometers above Antarctica once caught a whisper from the ice that should never have been heard. In 2016, NASA’s Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) detected radio ...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

Is the standard model of particle physics complete? originally appeared on Quora: the knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are answered by people with unique insights. Answer by Jay ...

Neutrinos slip through your body by the trillions each second. They rarely hit anything. They barely seem to exist. Yet a ...

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?

As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?”. Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...
