Perimeter researchers use measurements from the Event Horizon Telescope to test Einstein’s theory with the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way.

How two Perimeter researchers cracked open a door to quantum computation that has been considered closed for 10 years.

How physics is breaking down communication barriers between specialties, and hoping to make big discoveries along the way.

Perimeter Institute is “making significant impacts on both science and society,” says the latest independent report from KPMG to Canada’s Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development.

EinsteinPlus helps teachers bring modern physics concepts to life in classrooms around the world. 

A new model of quantum cosmology shows how this universe might have been born from the one before it – while avoiding the broken physics of the big bang singularity. 

Theorists from Perimeter and experimentalists from the Institute for Quantum Computing have found a new way to test whether the universe is quantum, a test that will have widespread applicability: they’ve proven the failure of noncontextuality in the lab.

Recent Perimeter research based on the holographic principle seeks new connections between general relativity and quantum field theory. 

Theoretical physics is more than a field of study. It’s a tool of discovery. Check out the latest issue of Inside the Perimeter to explore what is happening – and what is possible – in this fascinating realm.

Freddy Cachazo and Roger Melko receive honours from the Canadian Association of Physicists for work in quantum fields and condensed matter.
