Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Imagine zooming into matter at the quantum scale, where tiny particles can interact in more than a trillion configurations at once. If that sounds complicated, it is: Physicists often ...

To alumnus Gal Weitz (EngrPhys, ApMath’22), Boulder was a “dream destination” for undergrad. Now working in quantitative finance, Weitz shares how his education at CU Boulder set him up for success in ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

Have you ever felt confused by quantum physics? Ever thought you've read enough and still don't understand quantum physics? Don't worry, you're not alone! Even the world's best scientists don't ...

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely well by quantum theory, while the world of gravitation ...

Physics senior Ruijian Wang has been awarded the Fall 2025 Stephen Halley White Undergraduate Research Award from the Department of Physics for his outstanding research in quantum optics and ...

What does the passage of time look like for a truly quantum object? The world’s best clocks may soon be able to answer this question, testing how time can stretch and shift in the quantum realm and ...
