Theoretical physicists discover a deep connection between quantum entanglement and thermalization
Theoretical physicists at Trinity have found a deep connection between one of the most striking features of quantum mechanics – quantum entanglement – and thermalization, which is the process by which something comes into thermal…
AI beats theoretical physicists at their own game
Over the past few decades, machine learning has revolutionized many sectors of society, with machines learning to drive cars, identify tumors and play chess, often surpassing their human counterparts.Now, a team of scientists based at…

What if you could test a new theory against LHC data? Better yet, what if the specialist knowledge needed to do this was captured in a…
Theoretical Physicists’ Multiverse Speculation Sets a Dangerous Precedent: Scientific Claims…
In the past, theoretical physicists were considered more intelligent than their experimental brethren. Because they didn't need labs. Not everyone was convinced. Heisenberg, the uncertainty principle guy (1), only got his…
Theoretical physicists describe a new kind of quantum temporal order
One of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics is quantum superposition, in which a particle exists simultaneously in two or more states. In one paper published in the journal Nature CommunicationUniversity of Queensland…
Dark Monopolies: Theoretical Physicists Propose a New Candidate for Dark Matter | Physics
Professor John Terning and Dr Christopher Verhaaren of the University of California, Davis have a new candidate for dark matter - a dark monopoly - and a possible way to detect it.
Nobody knows what dark matter is, but this invisible…
Theoretical physicists hold the key to some of artificial intelligence’s toughest problems
If you've been following recent high-level appointments in the artificial intelligence and machine learning industry, you would have noticed a marked increase in the number of theoretical physicists in senior positions at companies…
Theoretical physicists are one step closer to explaining how NASA’s ‘impossible’…

Theoretical physicists present an alternative to the WIMP paradigm
Only a small part of the universe is made up of visible matter. From a distance, most of it is invisible and consists of dark matter and dark energy. Very little is known about dark energy, but there are many theories and experiments…
Theoretical Physicists Suggest There’s a Portal Connecting the Standard Model to Dark Physics
Theoretical physicists have advanced a new hypothesis that aims to connect the world of visible physics to the hidden forces of our Universe: what if there was a portal that would bridge the gap between the Standard Model and dark matter…
Theoretical Physicists Deliberately Fooled Intelligent Machines
When computers independently identify bodies of water and their outlines in satellite images, or beat the world's best professional players at the board game Go, adaptive algorithms are working in the background. Programmers provide these…
Theoretical physicists confirm the possible discovery of the fifth fundamental force of nature |…
Recent findings from a team of experimental nuclear physicists in Hungary pointing to the possible discovery of a new subatomic particle could be evidence of a fifth force of nature, according to a team of theoretical physicists from the…
