What does the end of the universe look like?

@astrokatie.com shares a glimpse of what modern astrophysics tells us about the ultimate fate of the cosmos, and what the catastrophic destruction of all reality would look like to anyone still around to see it.

What’s next for quantum information & gravity?

A Stanford PhD student shares how tabletop experiments could soon test if gravity is truly quantum. Moving from theory to experiment may finally reshape our understanding of one of physics’ biggest questions.

Couldn't make it to LUMEN this year? We still have a display here at Perimeter Institute until October 19th!

Robert Myers and Netta Engelhardt both had breakthrough realizations while driving; Myers on entanglement entropy, Engelhardt on black hole quantum information.

Do physicists really do their best thinking behind the wheel?

Since its launch in 2018, the Perimeter Institute Quantum Intelligence Lab (PIQuIL) has been exploring how AI could be applied to problems in quantum physics.

Leonard Susskind recalls a pivotal moment in physics: a meeting with Gerard ’t Hooft and Stephen Hawking. Hawking argued that black holes destroy information, an idea that sounded plausible, yet troubling. Ultimately wrong, but transformative. The brilliance wasn’t in the answer, but the question.
