When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast off into space. But a team of researchers from TU Wien and their colleagues ...

Last week I summarized takeaways from my visit to SXSW earlier this month. As I mentioned in that article, the most hyped technology at the event was quantum computing. I found this to be quite ...

The latest "Google Doodle" to adorn the Google search engine home page is celebrating achievements in quantum physics - and aiming to spread interest in the field. Google's Doodle webpage explains ...

What if the impossible became routine? Imagine solving a problem so complex it would take a classical computer 20 million years to crack, now imagine doing it in just 15 minutes. That’s exactly what ...
