Vijay Balasubramanian (University of Pennsylvania) emphasised that the challenge is not only reproducing the familiar area law – which links entropy to the area of the event horizon – but also ...

An international team of physicists has uncovered a subtle but important twist in how “memory” works in quantum systems.

Computer science, at its most fundamental, is all about inputs and outputs. Consider the simple case of multiplying two numbers on a pocket calculator. You punch in some inputs — the specific numbers ...

Adiabatic quantum computing An example problem represented by an energy landscape. Each point on the landscape represents a candidate solution. The deepest valley represents the actual solution with ...

Quantum technologies, devices and systems that process, store, detect, or transfer information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential to outperform classical technologies in a ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a significant discovery regarding quantum entanglement. This phenomenon, which has long been viewed as a ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human brain? If you're enjoying this article, consider supporting our ...

Canadian quantum computing startup Photonic Inc. said today it has closed on CAD$180 million ($130 million) in funding as part of the first phase of its latest investment round. The company said it’s ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...

New study reveals how quantum entanglement is transferred in ultrafast photoionisation experiments, offering us insights into how quantum information develops from microscopic to macroscopic scales ...

Years ago, an audacious Fields medalist outlined a sweeping program that, he claimed, could be used to resolve a major problem in algebraic geometry. Other mathematicians had their doubts. Now he says ...
