Quantum theory, which describes the behaviour of subatomic particles, has revolutionised our understanding of the universe at a fundamental level. Some scientists have begun to investigate whether ...

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

The company unveiled a quantum computing chip that can solve a very specific set of problems much faster than old-school digital systems. Here's how Google's researchers explained the Willow chip ...

Hartmut Neven, who leads Google's Quantum AI lab, wants to entangle our brains with quantum processors to test the idea that ...

Faced with this problem, I realized that the ultraviolet radiation he described might be explained using quantum resonance theory. Using resonance concepts from quantum mechanics, I've connected ...

A quantum computer with 4 qubits can in theory handle 16 times as much information as an equally-sized conventional computer and will keep doubling in power with every qubit that’s added.

The explanation lies in quantum mechanics ... Critically, the researchers say, this doesn't violate Einstein's theory of special relativity, which dictates that nothing can travel faster than ...

String theory is the most well known candidate for a theory of everything — a mathematical framework that would meld the world of the very small, described by quantum mechanics, and the very ...

who has studied the quantum theory of frustrated magnets for years. Nevidomskyy explained that the geometric frustration in a quantum spin liquid is so severe that the electrons instead form a quantum ...
