Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM are all racing to build a quantum computer. But the technology's feasibility is as hazy as its physics.

Neil deGrasse Tyson breaks down the chaotic 3-body problem, explaining why predicting the motion of three interacting celestial bodies is nearly impossible and how it reshaped modern physics. Michael ...

“There are known knowns. There are known unknowns. But there are also unknown unknowns—things we do not yet realize we do not know.”—Donald Rumsfeld (2002) While modern machine learning (ML) ...

A concert by the Jerusalem Quartet in May 2024 was cancelled by Concertgebouw concert hall in Amsterdam after ‘safety’ concerns over planned demonstrations - May Zircus Classical music sometimes ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...

A team of quantum computer researchers at quantum computer maker D-Wave, working with an international team of physicists and engineers, is claiming that its latest quantum processor has been used to ...

New landmark peer-reviewed paper published in Science, “Beyond-Classical Computation in Quantum Simulation,” unequivocally validates D-Wave’s achievement of the world’s first and only demonstration of ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) today announced a quantum advance published in the journal Science, confirming that its annealing quantum computer outperformed one of the world’s most powerful ...

Classical real-valued probabilities come at a philosophical cost: in many infinite situations, they assign the same probability value—namely, zero—to cases that are impossible as well as to cases that ...
