Physicists construct theories to describe nature. Let us explain it through an analogy with something that we can do in our everyday life, like going on a hike in the mountains. To avoid getting lost, ...

The universality phenomenon reveals that certain complex functions arising in number theory—most notably the Riemann zeta‐function and a broad class of L‐functions—are astonishingly rich in analytic ...

An international team of researchers shows through a concrete theoretical experiment that the prediction by standard complex quantum theory cannot be expressed by its real counterpart and ratifies its ...
