UTA scientists explore quantum aspects of gravity using neutrinos
Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 03, 2024 Einstein's theory of general relativity describes gravity as a result of space and time curving. This theory accounts for the Earth's gravity, which anchors us and causes objects to fall. In contrast, high-energy physics investigates subatomic particles that follow the principles of quantum mechanics, notable for their random fluctuations and the inherent uncertainty in particle positions and energies. For years, efforts have been underway to merge these two scientific realms into a singular ... read more 
Testing the quantumness of gravity without entanglementParis, France (SPX) May 02, 2024 Gravity, a fundamental force in our everyday lives, continues to puzzle scientists: Is it a geometric force as Einstein suggested, or does it follow quantum mechanics? Researchers from the Universit ... more |
