Why do we insist that our god be infinite? Why would being bound in a nutshell world give us bad dreams? Why do we fear the cloister more than the agora? Longing and love have always “the expansion of ...

A new study questions whether streaks of bad luck are the result of chance and suggests that everything that happens in the ...

This article is the first part of a series about quantum field theory published by Quanta Magazine. Other stories in the series can be found here. Over the past century, quantum field theory has ...

It might sound strange to think about physics (which often involves a lot of theory and hypotheticals) helping people solve mathematics problems. However, physics follows many math patterns very ...

The Mathematical Physics group at CU Boulder has expertise in Hilbert space theory, quantization theory, random matrices, Poisson geometry, the mathematics of classical and quantum fields, and PDE's ...

In 1935, Albert Einstein, working with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, grappled with a possibility revealed by the new laws of quantum physics: that two particles could be entangled, or correlated, ...

Breakthroughs in physics sometimes require an assist from the field of mathematics—and vice versa. In 1912, Albert Einstein, then a 33-year-old theoretical physicist at the Eidgenössische Technische ...
