Physicists have long known that quantum computers have the potential to race through calculations trillions of times as fast as ordinary computers do. Now, it seems that those machines may not have to ...

It’s fascinating to think about the power in our pocket—today’s smartphones have the computing power of a military computer from 50 years ago that was the size of an entire room. However, even with ...

Dr. Pravir Malik is the founder and technologist of QIQuantum and the Forbes Technology Council group leader for Quantum Computing. The quantum computing industry is undergoing an extraordinary phase ...

Investopedia contributors come from a range of backgrounds, and over 25 years there have been thousands of expert writers and editors who have contributed. Doretha Clemons, Ph.D., MBA, PMP, has been a ...

The scale of investment in quantum computation, simulation and sensing is growing at a tantalizing pace. Harnessing the nanoscale to engineer useful quantum effects is a transformative capability of ...

Quantum experiments keep stripping away our everyday intuitions, replacing them with a picture of reality in which cause, effect and even “facts” depend on how we look. New tests of entanglement, ...

We often hear the term "quantum computing" tossed around among technology and computing enthusiasts but, what exactly does that even mean? Truth be told, I suspect most probably don't have the ...

Interpretations In his new book of essays, David Kaiser explores quantum physics from a scientific, historical, economic and philosophical standpoint. (Courtesy: iStock/Pobytov) Both a physicist and a ...

Quantum spin liquids represent a groundbreaking concept in quantum physics and materials science. Unlike classical magnetic materials, where electron spins align in an orderly pattern at low ...
