Looking back at the history of computers, it’s hard to overestimate the rate at which computing power has scaled in the course of just a single human lifetime. But yet, existing classical computers ...

Researchers have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or even solid materials ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals ...

One of the most frequently asked questions about quantum computers is a simple one: When will they be useful? If you talk to people in the field, you’ll generally get a response in the form of another ...

Augmented Physics: This web-based tool uses machine learning to create interactive physics simulations from textbook diagrams. By semi-automatically extracting content, users can embed dynamic, ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Despite how it may feel some days, we probably aren’t stuck in a ...

Computer simulations in chemistry are a powerful way of understanding and optimizing chemical processes. But as the size of the system under consideration grows, so does the computational complexity ...

Simulation of non-Hermitian quantum mechanics using a quantum computer goes beyond centuries old conventions. Aalto researchers have used an IBM quantum computer to explore an overlooked area of ...
