Future quantum computing will require correlations between distant modules—a feature known as distributed entanglement.

An international team of researchers has found a surprisingly simple relationship between the rates of energy and information transmission across an interface connecting two quantum field theories.

A new theoretical study offers a possible explanation for how the Universe can grow more complex without violating the second ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story… A mind-bending theory called quantum immortality suggests that your consciousness shifts to parallel universes after you die. The theory is an ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

Quantum computers lack useful functionality without the right algorithms to facilitate their operation. Currently, there are ...

If you asked a thousand physicists, they would all disagree. This statement could apply to any number of topics – whether the universe is infinite, what dark matter is made of, how to make wires ...

An international collaboration sheds new light on the relationship between quantum theory and thermodynamics. The research group demonstrated that while the laws of quantum theory alone do not ...

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is. Reading time 3 minutes The entire spiel of ...

Some quantum cryptographers want to find ways to keep messages secret even if the rules of quantum mechanics don’t hold. The recently rediscovered idea of quantum jamming complicates things. For the ...

The ball rolls across the floor because it was kicked, just as Earth orbits the sun because it is tugged by gravity. The connection between cause and effect is fundamental to how we understand the ...
