A study has developed a new method that enables quantum computers to measure the thermodynamic properties of systems by calculating the zeros of the partition function. A study led by researchers at ...

For non-planar graphs, such solutions are computationally intractable," explained the researchers. The algorithm relies on the Kac-Ward formalism, a mathematical method that allows exact computation ...

Partition theory studies the ways in which a positive integer can be expressed as a sum of positive integers, without regard to order. Originating in the work of Euler, it has evolved through the ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

Like physics, math has its own set of “fundamental particles”—the prime numbers, which can’t be broken down into smaller natural numbers. They can only be divided by themselves and 1. And in a new ...
