As quantum computing develops, scientists are working to identify tasks for which quantum computers have a clear advantage over classical computers. So far, researchers have only pinpointed a handful ...

A team of physicists from the University at Buffalo has developed a user-friendly method that allows researchers to solve complex quantum problems, once thought to require massive supercomputers, on ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

The parity-identification problem fits naturally into this landscape. Parity is a global property, insensitive to most local details. In this respect, it resembles many other quantities studied in ...

Although the potential applications of quantum computing are widespread, a new feasibility study suggests quantum computers ...

A 2,000-page monograph series proposes a new conceptual framework connecting quantum physics, gravitation and cosmological evolution.

Louisiana Tech University senior Jesse Webb will represent the United States this April at the NYU Abu Dhabi International Hackathon for Social Good, one of the world’s premier student quantum ...
