A new proof marks the first progress in decades on important cases of the so-called kissing problem. Getting there meant ...

First proposed in 1935 by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, "Schrödinger's cat" was designed to highlight the ...

In a quantum ICO process, the temporal order of events is not fixed. Instead, the order is a quantum superposition of event A ...

In a groundbreaking experiment, UNSW researchers successfully applied the Schrödinger’s cat concept using an antimony atom to ...

Quantum computing promises to solve complex problems exponentially faster than a classical computer, by using the principles ...

Northwestern University engineers made a remarkable advance in quantum computing and communication, demonstrating quantum teleportation over a standard fiber optic cable that already carries everyday ...

Earlier this month, Google's quantum computing scientists demonstrated a breakthrough that indicates quantum computing is for real -- and will be able to find its place among other kinds of ...

Wall Street’s enthusiasm around quantum computing as the next hot investment theme after artificial intelligence has so far not included IBM. That’s a mistake, Melius Research analyst Ben ...

The working of a quantum computer is based on the principles of quantum mechanics, an area of physics that deals with the smallest particles in the universe. Physicist Richard Feynman proposed the ...

Quantum computers use a basic unit of information in quantum mechanics called a qubit, which can exist as zero and one simultaneously. If you have never studied quantum mechanics, you may have ...

Students learning quantum mechanics are taught the Schrodinger equation and how to solve it to obtain a wave function. But a crucial step is skipped because it has puzzled scientists since the ...

That's because the unusual properties of quantum mechanics mean that simulating these systems on a classical computer quickly becomes intractable as they get larger, said Simon Benjamin ...
