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 ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they’ve been awarded the highest honor in computer science. Those water-logged scientists, Charles Bennett and Gilles ...

You’re late for an important appointment. Just as you are leaving your house, you realise your phone is flat. Imagine you could charge it almost instantly by exploiting the strange rules of quantum ...

Quantum mechanics is both the most powerful theory physicists have ever devised and the most baffling. On the one hand, countless experiments have confirmed its predictions; the theory undergirds ...

Jacob A. Barandes is a senior preceptor in physics and associated faculty in philosophy. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. FM: You’re from New York, and you’ve since moved to ...

Computer science, at its most fundamental, is all about inputs and outputs. Consider the simple case of multiplying two numbers on a pocket calculator. You punch in some inputs — the specific numbers ...

Quantum computing has long been a distant, theoretical threat to blockchain cryptography. But over the past few months, that calculus has shifted rapidly. While the Bitcoin community has been debating ...
