CERN Courier is essential reading for the international high-energy physics community. Highlighting the latest research and project developments from around the world, CERN Courier offers a unique ...
Orthodox quantum mechanics is empirically flawless, but founded on an awkward interface between quantum systems and classical probes. In this feature, Carlo Rovelli – himself the originator of the ...
Enrique Rico Ortega and Sofia Vallecorsa explain how quantum computing will allow physicists to model complex dynamics, from black-hole evaporation to neutron-star interiors.
Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit their unparalleled precision at higher energies.
Astrophysics and cosmology Feature Cosmology comes of age The easy part is over ­ experimental cosmology has now reached adulthood. That was the message that emerged from a workshop on cosmology and ...
Battle of the Big Bang provides an entertaining update on the collective obsessions and controlled schizophrenias in cosmology, writes Will Kinney.
Laser calibration Technical improvements by Fermilab’s Muon g-2 collaboration achieved a systematic uncertainty of 78 ppb on quantum corrections to the magnetic moment of the muon. Credit: R Hahn ...
The ATLAS and ALICE collaborations have announced the first results of a new way to measure the “radial flow” of quark–gluon plasma.
New Frontiers in Science in the Era of AI arrives with a clear mission: to contextualise AI within the long arc of scientific thought and current research frontiers.
Fifty experts on nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics met at CERN from 9 to 13 June to discuss how to use extreme environments as precise laboratories for fundamental physics.
Kanta Dihal explores why quantum mechanics captures the imagination of writers – and how ‘quantum culture’ affects the public understanding of science.
The CMS collaboration jointly analysed all vector boson scattering channels.
