In 1935, Albert Einstein, working with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, grappled with a possibility revealed by the new laws of quantum physics: that two particles could be entangled, or correlated, ...

The death of US computer scientist and physicist Edward Fredkin this June went largely unnoticed, except for a belated obituary in the New York Times. Yet despite never quite becoming the household ...

“God does not play dice with the universe,” Albert Einstein is reported to have said about the field of Quantum Physics. He was referring to the great divide at the time in the physics community ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...

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 ...

Quantum Science and Engineering is the study and application of the principles of quantum mechanics (such as superposition and entanglement) to develop new technologies that surpass the limits of ...

Computer science, at its most fundamental, is all about inputs and outputs. Consider the simple case of multiplying two numbers on a pocket calculator. You punch in some inputs — the specific numbers ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...

Maintenance of the software that’s used for the hardest physics calculations rests almost entirely with a retiree. The situation reveals the problematic incentive structure of academia. Recently, I ...
