Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

Born in Paris in 1976, Nalini Anantharaman is a leading French mathematician known for her pioneering work in quantum chaos and spectral geometry. A professor at the Collège de France, she has ...

This North Carolina military icon becomes a haunted overnight adventure you won’t forget, full of history and chills.

But after reading Decoherence and Quantum Darwinism, a book published in March 2025 by the physicist Wojciech Zurek, I’m excited by the possibility of an answer that does away with all those fanciful ...

A forgotten cup of coffee will gradually cool down as its heat flows into the cooler surrounding air, but in the quantum realm, it appears this experience can be turned on its head. As a result, we ...

Quantum computing has exciting potential, but several limitations in its current state. Meaningful commercial opportunities could still be a ways off. IonQ, D-Wave Quantum, and Rigetti Computing could ...

Quantum computers allow calculations to be performed at vastly greater speeds than current devices. Experts say that we could soon see quantum systems with commercial value. "By the end of the decade, ...

The low-noise, high-gain properties needed for high-performance quantum computing can be realized in a microwave photonic circuit device called a Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier (JTWPA), ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

Oracle-based quantum algorithms cannot use deep loops because quantum states exist only as mathematical amplitudes in Hilbert space with no physical substrate. Criticall ...

Computer science, at its most fundamental, is all about inputs and outputs. Consider the simple case of multiplying two numbers on a pocket calculator. You punch in some inputs — the specific numbers ...
