This article, prepared in conjunction with AFCEA’s Technology Committee, is the second in a series of three articles addressing quantum computing. The inaugural article, "The Current State of Quantum ...

Mean-field theory and semiclassical methods constitute vital frameworks in contemporary quantum mechanics. By replacing the intricate web of particle interactions with an average or “mean” field, mean ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

Fully functional quantum computers remain out of reach, but optimism across the field is rising. At the Q2B Silicon Valley conference in December, researchers and executives ...

The race to harness quantum mechanics for computing power is finally colliding with the real economy. After a century of ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Google (GOOGL.O), opens new tab aims to release commercial quantum computing applications within five years, Google's head of quantum told Reuters on Wednesday, in a ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

What if your conscious experiences were not just the chatter of neurons, but were connected to the hum of the universe? In a paper published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, I present new evidence ...
