A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

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 ...

Photo of the experimental setup to couple MWs to N- 𝑉⁢s using grape dimers. A stripped optical fiber with N- 𝑉 spins, cantilevered from a rod, lies between two grapes. The grapes were positioned on ...

Quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform classical computers on some complex computational problems. These computers rely on ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Imagine zooming into matter at the quantum scale, where tiny particles can interact in more than a trillion configurations at once. If that sounds complicated, it is: Physicists often ...

Understanding the chemical properties of a molecule is an inherently quantum problem, making quantum computers a good tool ...

A century ago, a group of scientists in Europe began developing a theory to explain how the world’s smallest particles interact. Their discoveries underpinned a new branch of physics and laid the ...
