Quantum mechanics is both the most powerful theory physicists have ever devised and the most baffling. On the one hand, ...

The errors that quantum computers make are holding the technology back. But recent progress in quantum error correction has ...

Sam Mugel, Ph.D., is the CTO of Multiverse Computing, a global leader in developing value-driven quantum solutions for businesses. Quantum mechanics, which is the study of the behavior of sub-atomic ...

Here’s how I distinguish science from philosophy. Science addresses questions that can be answered, potentially, through empirical investigation. Examples: What’s the best way to defeat COVID-19? What ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

The parity-identification problem fits naturally into this landscape. Parity is a global property, insensitive to most local details. In this respect, it resembles many other quantities studied in ...

Mean-field theory and semiclassical methods constitute vital frameworks in contemporary quantum mechanics. By replacing the intricate web of particle interactions with an average or “mean” field, mean ...

Working with existing infrastructure, IBM is angling to expedite the benefits of quantum computing with help from classical ...

The company claims the blueprint demonstrates how quantum computers can be integrated into modern supercomputing environments ...

A new generation of computer technology is on the horizon, which many think will eventually increase the computing power available to humanity by factors of thousands or possibly even millions. If ...

RIKEN and IBM scientists achieved one of the largest quantum simulations of iron‑sulfur clusters, a fundamental molecule in biology and chemistry, through closed loop data exchange between a ...
