Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a ...

Amid some scepticism, many say the machines can now achieve results beyond the capability of traditional computers ...

Quantum mechanical effects such as radioactive decay, or more generally: 'tunneling', display intriguing mathematical patterns. Researchers now show that a 40-year-old mathematical discovery can be ...

In the quantum world, processes can be separated into two distinct classes. One class, that of the so-called "perturbative" phenomena, is relatively easy to detect, both in an experiment and in a ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Introduction: Picking Up the Quantum Thread In Part 1 of this two-part series, I confessed that this whole journey was ...

Two years ago, the Cornell Quantum Computing Association did not exist. Flash forward to today, QCA is at the forefront of cutting-edge work in quantum hardware, standing out as one of the few ...

What if the impossible became routine? Imagine solving a problem so complex it would take a classical computer 20 million years to crack, now imagine doing it in just 15 minutes. That’s exactly what ...
