Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger developed quantum theory’s wave equation, which describes quantum systems as waves that ...

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is.

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Many World’s lack wavefunction collapse might be the key to the measurement problem. The mystery of what happens when we go from a superposition to a definite state is known as the Measurement Problem ...

Unless you're a physicist, you've probably only encountered quantum mechanics on TV. And even when it was explained, you might've still been a little confused. The field of quantum mechanics was ...

Reading time 3 minutes According to physicist Paul Davies, a tried-and-true “quantum” device exploits the odd rules of ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they’ve been awarded the highest honor in computer science.

Google’s latest Doodle celebrates World Quantum Day. Quantum computers are one of Google’s big research projects, but the fundamentals can be hard to communicate. For today’s Doodle, Google uses a ...

Physicists have long struggled to unite quantum mechanics—the theory governing tiny particles—with Einstein’s theory of ...

The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...
