The operation of quantum computers, systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, relies on the ...

Quantum computers, computing systems that process information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could soon outperform ...

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest and most fascinating phenomena in physics. Even Einstein didn’t believe it - he called it “spooky action at a distance” - but science has proven it true.

Quantum computers have the potential of outperforming classical computers in some optimization and data processing tasks. However, quantum systems are also more sensitive to noise and thus prone to ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

Kristian Camilleri is an associate professor of history and philosophy of science at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and author of Heisenberg and the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. In ...

In the pantheon of modern physics, few figures can match the quiet authority of Gerard ’t Hooft. The theoretical physicist, now a professor emeritus at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, has spent ...

A hidden world of quantum metrologists ensure that everyday devices perform safely and correctly, but their work is never ...

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 ...

Quantum Computing has emerged alongside other popular quantum stocks such as IonQ, Rigetti Computing, and D-Wave Quantum over the last year. While the company's approach to building quantum ...

University of Vermont professor Dennis Clougherty (right) and his student Nam Dinh wondered if there are systems in the atomic scale that behave like the vibrating motion of a guitar string in the ...
