Quantum physics underlies technologies from the laser to the smartphone. The International Year of Quantum marks a century of scientific developments.
Scientists used antimony atoms to improve quantum computing by making qubits more stable, like a quantum cat, and ...
Entropy always increases, but in quantum systems, traditional entropy measures seem constant. TU Wien researchers resolved this paradox by considering Shannon entropy, which accounts for the ...
The Swiss startup has found a way to allow qubits to move in all spatial directions like an aeroplane, instead of like cars ...
But quantum mechanics underlies the structure and origin of our universe ... current quantum computers do not have enough quantum bits (qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers) to ...
In 2024, a research team claimed to have used a quantum computer to break a core part of internet security, RSA encryption, ...
In this system, the basic unit of information is a bit ... In contrast, by harnessing quantum mechanics, quantum computing does not have the same constraints. A lesson of quantum physics—one that is ...
IBS Software’s Alex Haynes says there is still a long way to go before quantum computers are able to break modern ...
The publication of Werner Heisenberg’s article was arguably the moment that ushered in the modern age of quantum mechanics, thus setting in train an astonishing revolution in our basic ...
As science wrestles with the thorny job of proving, defining and understanding human consciousness, one pioneering startup aims to apply cutting-edge theories of consciousness to AI models – and ...
Stuart Rice, who specialized in physical chemistry during a long career as a professor and researcher at the University of ...
