Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

Astrophysicist Paul Sutter explains Quantum Mechanics - the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of ...

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 ...

Did you know that China has invested over $15 billion in quantum computing research? This staggering figure highlights the intense global competition to lead in this groundbreaking technology. Quantum ...

"Quantum" may seem like a useless buzzword, but quantum computing is a real thing, and it's actually understandable even if you don't know physics.

For decades, physics has explained the transition from the quantum world to the classical world as a loss: coherence dissipates, superposition collapses, ...

What if the impossible became routine? Imagine solving a problem so complex it would take a classical computer 20 million years to crack, now imagine doing it in just 15 minutes. That’s exactly what ...

In 1977, an American physicist named John H. Van Vleck won the Nobel Prize for his work on magnetism. In his Nobel lecture, amid a discussion of rare earth elements, one sentence leaps out: ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...
