Future quantum computing will require correlations between distant modules—a feature known as distributed entanglement.

Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have examined a fundamental property of quantum mechanics in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR). In an article published in ...

Quantum field theories are the foundation of modern physics. They tell us how particles behave and how their interactions can be described. However, many complicated questions in particle physics ...

An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to optimally simulate them on a computer? The answer comes from AI. Subscribe to our ...

Quantum resource theories provide a unified framework for characterising and quantifying nonclassical features of quantum systems under operational constraints. By specifying a set of free states and ...

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 ...

Physicists are making new inroads into the world of post-quantum theories, uncovering what reality may look like on a level deeper and stranger than the already infamously odd quantum theory. In the ...

Sometimes, you work tirelessly on a problem, only to realise you have been going about it all backwards. Imagine trying to fit a massive antique piano through a tiny doorway. You have tried everything ...

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is. Reading time 3 minutes The entire spiel of ...

Quantum mechanics represents one of the most successful scientific theories of the twentieth century, describing the behaviour of matter and energy at atomic and subatomic scales. Central to its ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story… A mind-bending theory called quantum immortality suggests that your consciousness shifts to parallel universes after you die. The theory is an ...
