An “echo” that arrives before you finish speaking sounds like a glitch. In quantum hardware, that kind of self-interference ...

In this video, we explore the concept of symmetry, regarded as the root of physics. We delve into the significance of symmetry and its connection to group theory, particularly Noether's Theorem, which ...

“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...

They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built from. Or that there is a wild proliferation of parallel universes, or ...

Reservoir computing is a promising machine learning-based approach for the analysis of data that changes over time, such as ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Two blind spots torture physicists: the birth of the universe and the center of a black hole. The former may feel like a moment in time ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

Physicists talk about quantum physics, quantum mechanics, quantum entanglement, quantum computing but what if we could, by analogy, apply the quantum physics theory to our mind and talk about quantum ...
