Quantum computers could solve certain problems that would take traditional classical computers an impractically long time to ...

There are three types of quantum physicists: (1) those who think quantum mechanics is defaced by a so-called measurement problem; (2) those who think, as I do, that there is no measurement problem; ...

That’s the quantum measurement problem, in broad strokes. There are optimistic folks, like David Mermin (see Physics Today, June 2022, page 62), who believe there is no measurement problem, but that’s ...

Are the mysteries of quantum mechanics finally starting to crack, or are we just getting better at asking sharper questions? Since the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics honored experiments on quantum ...

The quantum world and our everyday world are very different places. In a publication that appeared as the “Editor’s Suggestion” in Physical Review A this week, UvA physicists Jasper van Wezel and ...

IBM and an international team of researchers have used a quantum computer to accurately simulate the electronic structure of ...

Two teams of physicists have designed the first programmable quantum sensor, and tested it in the laboratory. To do so they applied techniques from quantum information processing to a measurement ...

So, what exactly is the quantum chemistry definition? It sounds fancy, right? Basically, it’s about using the weird rules of ...
