Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) at the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute and ...

Quantum computers lack useful functionality without the right algorithms to facilitate their operation. Currently, there are ...

When checking that solutions to certain problems are correct, it turns out, you can’t get around the inherent complexity of ...

How likely you think something is to happen depends on what you already believe about the circumstances. That is the simple concept behind Bayes' rule, an approach to calculating probabilities, first ...

Junqiao Lin has won the best student paper award at STOC, a premier conference in theoretical computer science held in Salt ...

At the forefront of discovery, where cutting-edge scientific questions are tackled, we often don’t have much data. Conversely, successful machine learning (ML) tends to rely on large, high quality ...

Some quantum cryptographers want to find ways to keep messages secret even if the rules of quantum mechanics don’t hold. The recently rediscovered idea of quantum jamming complicates things. For the ...

Quantum physics is the most successful scientific theory ever devised. It powers semiconductors, lasers, and MRI machines. Yet a bold new argument from Oxford physicist Tim Palmer says quantum physics ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

Do games have anything deeper to say about physics, or vice versa? Maybe. Most surprisingly, the connection might arise at the most fundamental level of all: quantum physics. —Chiu Fan Lee and Neil F.
