As the hare learned from the tortoise, speed isn't everything. Theoretical computer scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and Boston University have discovered that quantum computers are ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Imagine zooming into matter at the quantum scale, where tiny particles can interact in more than a trillion configurations at once. If that sounds complicated, it is: Physicists often ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly ...

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 ...

Physicists successfully teleport quantum information between photons from different sources, a key step towards a secure ...

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 ...

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 ...
