The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

In the words of Dr. Lawrence M. Krauss, space and time cannot contain the fundamental laws of physics because they generate ...

Physicist Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, was not out to shatter the ...

Recent decades have witnessed remarkable progress in establishing rigorous mathematical frameworks for quantum field theory (QFT), conformal field theory (CFT), quantum gravity and string theory.

Mathematicians have found a way to transform an unproductive quantum computing approach by reviving a class of previously discarded particles. Now, in a new study published in the journal Nature ...

According to Dr. Mir Faizal, Adjunct Professor at UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber Faculty of Science, and his international ...

Recent advances in theoretical physics have increasingly highlighted the pivotal role of algebraic structures in unifying particle physics with quantum gravity. These approaches leverage sophisticated ...

Mathematicians have struggled to understand the moduli space of graphs. A new paper uses tools from physics to peek inside. “That’s a super hard problem. It’s amazing they were able to,” said Dan ...

Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems far beyond the reach of today's fastest supercomputers. But today's machines are notoriously fragile. The quantum bits, or "qubits," that store ...

A fundamental link between two counterintuitive phenomena in spin glasses—reentrance and temperature chaos—has been ...

Mathematical analysis identifies a vortex structure that is impervious to decay. Scientists have shown how three vortices can be linked in a way that prevents them from being dismantled. The structure ...
