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.

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

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 ...
