This article, prepared in conjunction with AFCEA’s Technology Committee, is the second in a series of three articles addressing quantum computing. The inaugural article, "The Current State of Quantum ...

A theoretical paper posted to arXiv proposes that quantum coherence, the fragile property that powers quantum computing and ...

Mean-field theory and semiclassical methods constitute vital frameworks in contemporary quantum mechanics. By replacing the intricate web of particle interactions with an average or “mean” field, mean ...

A University of Sydney quantum physicist has developed a new approach to quantum error correction that could significantly ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

In an effort to solve the riddle of why we have subjective conciousness, scientists have develop myriad theories, including ones involving the quantum realm. A new theory suggests that consciousness ...

Does anyone understand quantum theory? The legendary Richard Feynman suggested that if you think you do, you haven’t understood it at all. But quantum theory is our best description of the microscopic ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

So, what exactly is quantum theory in physics? It sounds super complicated, right? Like something only geniuses ...
