In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

The world’s best clocks may be sensitive to an odd mix of quantum and relativistic effects that would stretch time and test ...

Attend our special community celebration that traces the remarkable journey of quantum physics and its transformative ...

The renowned physicist Richard Feynman is reputed to have once said that “physics is to math what sex is to masturbation”. Exactly what comparison he was making, he didn’t clarify – but if the orgasm ...

A more typical math pathway — at least for high school — might ... At Princeton, Volz is focused on eventually becoming a ...

USU mathematicians' theories could bolster quantum computing by predicting new particles and enhancing qubit stability.

He added that the team learned the behaviour of their system in 15 minutes. A comparable classical method would take around 20 million years. The experiment took place in the basement labs at DTU ...

The quantum many body problem has been at the heart of much of theoretical and experimental physics over the past few decades ...

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

Chicago has quickly emerged as a hub for quantum computing, with the state of Illinois and technology companies pouring ...

The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving some mathematical graffiti into Dublin's Broome Bridge in 1843.

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...
