A ball tossed into the air follows a path that classical physics can track with confidence. Shrink that ball down to the size ...

Only about 5% of the universe is composed of normal matter that we can directly observe, while the remaining 95% is widely ...

MIT researchers have developed a mathematical formulation using classical physics principles to exactly reproduce results from quantum mechanics. By extending the Hamilton-Jacobi equation with density ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...

MIT researchers have developed a classical physics-based formulation that can replicate solutions from the Schrödinger equation, a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. Demonstrated on quantum phenomena ...

Ignorance is bliss A cartoon depicting the differences between 'ignorant' observers of mixing gases in the classical and quantum versions of the Gibbs paradox. (Courtesy: Bethan Morris, PhD student at ...

In the first half of the semester, we will discuss philosophical problems of classical mechanics and classical field theories: the persistence of matter, modality, the representation of mechanical ...

Over the past decades, the mathematical formulation of physical theories has evolved to provide a unified framework that bridges classical mechanics, quantum mechanics and quantum information theory.
