Quantum computing promises to solve the seemingly unsolvable in fields such as physics, medicine, cryptography and more.

The Cyber Defense Review, Vol. 9, No. 2, Data in the Cybersecurity Landscape (SUMMER 2024), pp. 73-92 (20 pages) Winning is much easier if you have an edge, whether that be better personnel, strategy, ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

Physicists have achieved a breakthrough by using a 58-qubit quantum computer to create and observe a long-theorized but never ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in physics." The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may ...

Black holes can’t be formed from pure light. Quantum physics would curb their creation under any foreseeable conditions, a new study suggests. Typically, matter is responsible for black holes. They’re ...

Trapping ultracold atoms with laser light let researchers magnify and then image the wave functions of atoms that were ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An image of a black hole surrounded by matter. Does the secret of quantum gravity lie around ...

The first step toward quantum gravity, the "holy grail of physics," may be hiding in a quantum recipe to cook up black holes. That's the suggestion of new research that adds quantum corrections to ...
