But quantum supremacy is not a single, sweeping victory to be sought—a broad Rubicon to be crossed—but rather a drawn-out series of small duels. It will be established problem by problem, quantum ...

Long before robots could run or cars could drive themselves, mathematicians contemplated a simple mathematical question. They figured it out, then laid it to rest — with no way of knowing that the ...

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 ...

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.

Strengthen your physics skills with **“Learn Classical Mechanics Through Line Integral Exercises.”** In this tutorial, we explore how line integrals are applied in classical mechanics to solve ...

1. You trained deeply in Indian classical music. Few people expect that journey to lead to math education. When did you first realize that music wouldn’t be your only life’s work? a. Music shaped me ...

The quest for "quantum supremacy" – unambiguous proof that a quantum computer does something faster than an ordinary computer – has paradoxically led to a boom in quasi-quantum classical algorithms. A ...
