THE powerful mathematical framework for understanding complex quantum operators is rooted in a field called “quantum harmonic analysis.” That’s a mouthful. These three words lumped in one phrase ...

Theoretical physicists are trying to understand how the many possibilities that exist in quantum physics can become 'real.' A new model developed by UC Davis researchers suggests that there may be ...

In this video, we explore the meaning of quantum physics and the true nature of reality through key concepts in quantum ...

The major scientific breakthroughs and astronomical events have been seen this week with the remarkable development of a new ...

Quick: what’s 4 + 5? Nine right? Slightly less quick: what’s five plus four? Still nine, right? Okay, let’s wait a few seconds. Bear with me. Feel free to have a quick stretch. You’ve just performed a ...

For years, the conversation around quantum computing and cryptocurrency has been dominated by a single, breathless question: Will a quantum breakthrough kill Bitcoin? The fear is simple enough.

Imagine the tap of a card that bought you a cup of coffee this morning also let a hacker halfway across the world access your bank account and buy themselves whatever they liked. Now imagine it wasn’t ...

We can quibble over the exact timeline, but the quantum future is an approaching certainty, argues Arpa Network CEO Felix Xu.

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 ...

Encryption—the process of sending a scrambled message that only the intended recipient’s device can decode—allows private and public sectors alike to safeguard information. Traditional encryption uses ...
