"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.

The new quantum state, called quantum liquid crystal, appears to follow its own rules and offers characteristics that could ...

But researchers still disagree widely on how best to describe the physical reality that lies behind the mathematics, as a ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

Quantum field theory (QFT) is a physics framework that describes how particles and forces behave based on principles rooted ...

The nodes in a quantum network don’t necessarily have to be computers; they can also be atomic clocks. The cesium atoms that ...

At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

One of the biggest challenges in modern physics is uniting quantum mechanics and general relativity. A new experiment may ...

In fact, quantum field theory – which forms the basis for our modern understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact – unites quantum mechanics and special relativity.

Welcome to Prof. Yuan Shi's research group. We study magnetized laser-plasma interactions for fusion and photonics, develop quantum computing for high-energy-density systems, and investigate plasma ...
