The physicist and hedge fund manager on why the efficient markets theory is ‘all wrong’, economists with ‘mathematics envy’ — and what Camus can teach us about compromise ...

God truth, Diane, is I didn't know anything more the day I took the job than the day before," Palmer told Fortune.

The first reported demonstration of “unconditional” quantum advantage has little practical value—but that's perhaps why it ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...

Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also have wave-like properties. These properties can be represented using the wave ...

Since the 1990s, evidence has been growing that quantum computers should be able to solve a range of particularly complex computational problems, with applications in everything from supply chain ...

Imagine you are out on a walk. Outside the house in the fresh air you may have left the walls behind, but even so there are boundaries that limit where you can wander. In a city, you are constrained ...

Gabriel Lippmann received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1908 for a new method of colour photography that was never ...

Recent progress in both analog and digital quantum simulations heralds a future in which quantum computers could simulate — and thereby illuminate — physical phenomena that are far too complex for ...

The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation in which it is impossible to describe the physics of each photon separately ...
