A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the ...
Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...
Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on ...
Contemporary physics has learned to describe the universe with unprecedented precision. Yet when it tries to say what time is, it stumbles again and ...
Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...
Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...
Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...
The pioneer of quantum computing talks about how Albert Einstein would have reacted to his experiments, the hype around the ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...
A new study in Nature Physics has turned an old problem on its head by reporting a way to use the noisy interactions between ...
