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

Quantum entanglement, the invisible connection between particles that entwines them in such a way that they act as one, has ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
