Simulating quantum systems is something that classical computers struggle with. Not surprisingly, quantum computers are expected to do a much better job – particularly when a quantum-computer’s ...

Besides expanding our understanding of foundational physics, the team's breakthrough has significant potential applications in fields such as quantum information and quantum computing. Discover the ...

A study published in April 2026 in Proceedings of the Royal Society A shows a different possibility. Researchers demonstrated that a foundational classical principle can reproduce the exact same ...

A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware.

The 2025 Nobel prize in physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis for their work on showing how quantum particles can mysteriously tunnel through matter, a process that ...

One of the deepest ambitions in modern physics is understanding how the fabric of space and time could emerge from ...

For the past six years, Los Alamos National Laboratory has led the world in trying to understand one of the most frustrating barriers that faces variational quantum computing: the barren plateau.

Majorana 2's topological qubits could revolutionize quantum computing by reducing error-correction needs and enhancing qubit ...
