According to a new theory, our universe developed from a “pre-inflationary multiverse” made of particles in quantum superposition.

A new three-volume study explores how quantum physics, gravitation and cosmology may be understood within a unified ...

Cosmic voids may seem like the emptiest places in the universe, stripped of matter, radiation, and even dark matter. But they’re far from nothing. Even in these vast empty regions, the fundamental ...

Columbia University researchers have proven that quantum fluctuations from a vacuum can modify nearby materials ...

Physicists have successfully simulated how light interacts with empty space - a phenomenon once thought to belong purely to the realm of science fiction. (Nanowerk News) Physicists at the University ...

Researchers experiment exploited an uncanny feature of the quantum vacuum: It isn't really empty at all.

Quantum annealer has simulated the fundamental process of false vacuum decay, opening the window to the understanding of interactions between true vacuum bubbles. Credit: Professor Zlatko Papic / ...

The vacuum of space is a chaotic sea of quantum fluctuations. Some have said that this vacuum energy can be harvested to build our future starship engines. It can't. But it is technically possible to ...

The Dynamical Casimir Effect (DCE) encompasses a striking quantum phenomenon whereby rapid, nonadiabatic modifications of boundary conditions produce pairs of real photons from the quantum vacuum – a ...
