An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

Replication is a cornerstone of science, yet even in the natural sciences, attempts to reproduce results do not always succeed. Quantum computing promises machines that can solve certain problems far ...

Quantum computing promises extraordinary power, but that same power may expose new security weaknesses. Quantum computers are expected to deliver dramatic gains in processing speed and capability, ...

A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics was a radical theory that baffled even the brightest minds. Today, it's the backbone ...

For more than a century, modern physics has rested on two towering frameworks that do not quite agree with each other.

Quantum computing is rapidly emerging and, as it progresses forward, promises to cross fields of industry—from health sciences to finance and many other fields. Its advent is transforming the face of ...

Physicists found why holes move slower than electrons in silicon: not defects, but higher intrinsic mass, supporting ...
