Experts believe entangling a brain with a quantum computer could finally reveal where consciousness comes from.

The dice-playing line became emblematic of the B side of his life: the tragedy of a revolutionary turned reactionary who upended physics with relativity theory but was, as Niels Bohr put it, “out to ...

"No phenomenon is a real phenomenon until it is an observed phenomenon." — John Archibald Wheeler We used to think the observer was a passive witness to the universe. What if the observer is part of ...

For decades, physicists have talked about quantum distance, a way of measuring how similar or different two quantum states are. In this strange scale, a distance of one means two quantum states are ...

From where we're sitting today, it's increasingly likely that quantum computing will be one of the most disruptive technologies on the medium-term horizon. Here’s why: Harnessing the properties of ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

The breakthrough, confirmed in Nature, pushes quantum computing from theory to real-world validation. Alphabet stock rose 1.8 ...
