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

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

A new interactive web application allows for a tangible understanding of abstract concepts of quantum game theory. The Kobe ...

While a quantum computer could factor a 2048-bit RSA key in less than a week with fewer than a million qubits, there are ...

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been ...

Appearance is one thing, but reality is another. The world does not appear to be a hologram, but maybe it is. Thus begins physicist Leonard Susskind in opening a doorway between science and religion ...

Kobe University's proof-of-concept for quantum game theory allows users to explore how their strategies interfere.

Precise metrology forms a fundamental basis for advanced science and technology, including bioimaging, semiconductor defects ...

One hundred years ago on a quiet, rocky island, German physicist Werner Heisenberg helped set in motion a series of scientific developments that would touch nearly all of physics. There, Heisenberg ...

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.

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. This year is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, according to ...

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...
