An algorithm to calculate Pi on IBM’s quantum computers honors Pi Day—and helps us understand how a quantum computer works. Ever since Archimedes hit upon a value for Pi in the third century B.C., ...

A new trick for modeling molecules with quantum accuracy takes a step toward revealing the equation at the center of a ...

Lauda and his colleagues solve some of the problems with topological qubits by using a class of theoretical particles they call neglectons, named for how they were derived from overlooked theoretical ...

Researchers have developed a chip-based quantum random number generator that provides high-speed, high-quality operation on a ...

Imaginary numbers might seem like unicorns and goblins — interesting but irrelevant to reality. But for describing matter at its roots, imaginary numbers turn out to be essential. They seem to be ...

In 1931, Harvey Elliott White developed a device that traced out the shapes of electron clouds by approximating solutions to ...

God, Albert Einstein famously declared, does not play dice. It’s a pithy statement, but a revealing one: to the famously genius physicist, true randomness – and the new quantum framework that ...

IonQ’s acquisition of Oxford Ionics creates powerful technological synergies, accelerating the path toward commercial quantum computing breakthroughs using complementary ion-trap and semiconductor ...

CHICAGO (CBS)-- You may not hear the term "phase transition" in our daily weather forecasts very often, but it's the driving process behind many meteorological concepts and phenomena – from dew points ...
