When I introduced Steven Pinker, it felt like our worldviews couldn't have been more different. Here's why that dissonance was exactly the point.

A University of Michigan-led team has discovered quantum oscillations within an insulator’s bulk, overturning conventional ...

Certain quantum phases, such as topological order, are notoriously difficult for computers to identify. The challenge grows with the correlation length, a measure of how far the p ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...

It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true.

Discover how Google's quantum echoes algorithm is solving real-world problems in drug discovery, material science, and ...

Evidence of this quantum layer may be coming soon. Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Physicists are still puzzling over ...

Renowned physicist Michio Kaku predicts astronomers may soon determine if interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is natural or ...

Scientists are exploring a revolutionary theory that suggests human consciousness might operate as a quantum hologram, ...

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers ...

This balance—neurons as the silent bee workers, waves as the queen’s rhythm holding the hive together—suggests consciousness ...
