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

Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today's devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation is severely limited—that is, the ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

A team of physicists from the University at Buffalo has developed a user-friendly method that allows researchers to solve complex quantum problems, once thought to require massive supercomputers, on ...

For the first time in Cougar history, Brigham Young University students competed in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's annual quantum hackathon from Jan. 30 to Feb. 1 — and won.

For nearly a century, some of the simplest questions in quantum theory have stubbornly resisted clean answers, turning basic ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Imagine zooming into matter at the quantum scale, where tiny particles can interact in more than a trillion configurations at once. If that sounds complicated, it is: Physicists often ...

The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...

Quantum physics may sound abstract, but Ph.D. candidates Kirsten Kanneworff and David Dechant show that quantum research can also be very concrete. Together, they are investigating how quantum ...
