When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ...

Quantum mechanics has at last been formulated exclusively with real numbers, bringing a mathematical puzzle at the heart of ...

Researchers used IBM’s quantum computers to create scalable quantum circuits that simulate matter under extreme conditions, offering new insight into fundamental forces and the origins of the universe ...

A multinational team of physicists used artificial intelligence (AI) to condense a tremendously complicated quantum problem, which originally required solving over 100,000 equations into only four, ...

The study of quantum dynamics in conjunction with nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) sits at the confluence of mathematical physics, quantum mechanics and nonlinear analysis. This field ...

The evolution of quantum mechanics has continuously deepened our understanding of the microcosm, guiding researchers from the seminal formulation of the Schrödinger equation to more refined ...

As the size of modern technology shrinks down to the nanoscale, weird quantum effects—such as quantum tunneling, superposition, and entanglement—become prominent. This opens the door to a new era of ...

IBM announced new processors that it said will help it build a “fault-tolerant quantum computer” by the end of the decade.

Bitcoin’s quantum reckoning may still be years away, but the fear has already arrived. Breakthroughs from Google, Caltech, ...

Researchers at the University of London have already expanded on the MIT researchers’ approach to develop a new quantum algorithm for solving differential equations. Early in their paper, they ...

It’s the sort of easy maths problem that you can work out in a few minutes using pencil and paper, but physicists in China, Canada and Singapore have now solved pairs of linear equations like this one ...

Materials with controllable quantum mechanical properties are of great importance for the electronics and quantum computers of the future. However, finding or designing realistic materials that ...
