Quantum physics has a reputation for needing exotic hardware, from liquid-helium-cooled qubits to sprawling AI clusters, just ...

For years, quantum computers have been framed as the ultimate problem solvers, machines that would eventually crack any task that classical hardware could not touch. Now a new line of research is ...

Periodic maintenance is common too, but still inefficient and often based on time, not actual machine condition. That ...

Solving the nuclear many-body problem is a key challenge in nuclear physics – it deals with understanding the behavior of the protons and neutrons (called nucleons) inside atomic nuclei. These ...

Computer scientists established a new boundary on computationally verifiable knowledge. In doing so, they solved major open problems in quantum mechanics and pure mathematics. In 1935, Albert Einstein ...

Quantum computers that use entangled quantum bits or qubits will be capable verify answers to an incredibly vast set of problems. The correspondence between entanglement and computing was previously ...

Despite the stereotype of a lone, wild-haired Einstein working tirelessly at a chalkboard, today’s biggest discoveries in physics come from huge collaborations of scientists working on enormous ...
