Argonne National Laboratory is using its exascale supercomputers and artificial intelligence to simulate how carbon behaves ...

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can ...

Researchers have developed a series of techniques to build carbon nanoribbons atom by atom, engineering their electronic properties from the ground up rather than carving them from bulk material.

When molecules fall apart, their electric charge doesn't stay put—it rearranges as bonds stretch and break. An international team of scientists has now tracked these ultrafast changes in the small ...

LOUISVILLE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Infleqtion, a global leader in quantum computing and quantum sensing powered by neutral-atom technology, today became a publicly listed company trading on the New ...

Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics—the physics governing particles at atomic and subatomic scales—to process information in totally different ways from today’s digital computers. Instead of ...

A hundred years ago this week, at the height of the quantum revolution, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger submitted a manuscript for publication. Its centerpiece was an innocuous-looking equation ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we dive into fascinating ideas from around the universe. You can sign up for Lost in Space-Time here. Adolf Hitler died ...

As the industrial sector accelerates toward innovation, the pressure to do so sustainably and cost-effectively has never been greater. From energy-intensive artificial intelligence workloads to ...

Despite its simplicity, the model is foundational. It is often the first non-trivial system for which students solve the Schrödinger equation exactly, and it beautifully illustrates core quantum ideas ...

An NV center consists of a nitrogen atom replacing a carbon atom and an adjacent vacancy where a carbon atom is missing. "The NV center defect has a few properties, one of which is a degree of freedom ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1974, five years before he wrote his Pulitzer Prize–winning book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, Douglas Hofstadter was ...
