Within five years we are likely to start to see real-world applications become possible, even before we get to a large-scale ...

The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...

It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true.

TWA is one such semiclassical approach that dates back to the 1970s, but is limited to isolated, idealized quantum systems ...

Currently no commercially viable quantum computer exists. While a usable, functional quantum computer may exist in a few months, years, or even a few millenia (or a superposition of these states) we ...

Mathematical physics is an interdisciplinary field that employs rigorous mathematical methodologies to elucidate and model physical phenomena. It draws upon diverse areas such as differential geometry ...

Real and imaginary: The time-dependent Schrödinger equation formulated using complex numbers. (Courtesy: iStock/piranka) Complex numbers are essential to achieve the most accurate quantum-mechanical ...

Although quantum computing enterprises IonQ and Rigetti were previously all the rage, both have encountered sharp volatility ...

A proposed mathematical proof that outlines the way information behaves in coded messages may have implications for black holes. The proof suggests that the radiation spit out by black holes may ...

People often say that quantum physics is weird because it doesn’t seem rational. But of course, if you think about it, quantum physics is actually perfectly rational, if you understand the math. It’s ...
