For more than a century, physicists have been trying to reconcile the smooth geometry of gravity with the jittery ...

TU Wien researchers have uncovered a quantum twist to the paths particles take through spacetime — one that could finally ...

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.

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Researchers at TU Wien have integrated quantum physics with general relativity, revealing significant departures from ...
