Physicists have proven a 100-year-old prediction of relativity by showing that Einstein's equivalence principle holds at quantum scales.

In the end, the measured phase of the quantum wave sits 2.5 percent from the theoretical prediction. The result, the team argues, is a checkpoint on the border between Einstein’s relativity and ...

Physics has a problem—their key models of quantum theory and the theory of relativity do not fit together. Now, Dr. Wolfgang Wieland from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is ...
