For years, quantum computers have been framed as the ultimate problem solvers, machines that would eventually crack any task that classical hardware could not touch. Now a new line of research is ...

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

When IBM’s pioneering artificial intelligence Watson stumped future Jeopardy! cohost Ken Jennings in primetime in 2011, the machine’s gray matter resided in nearly a hundred super-cooled ...

On 9 July 1925, Heisenberg sent a paper titled ‘Quantum-theoretical re-interpretation of kinematic and mechanical relations’ to Max Born, whom he was assisting at that time, and Born sent the paper to ...

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

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Say you want to send a private message, cast a secret vote, or sign a document securely. If you do any of these tasks on a computer, you ...

Strongly interacting systems play an important role in quantum physics and quantum chemistry. Stochastic methods such as Monte Carlo simulations are a proven method for investigating such systems.

In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
