Physicist Paul Davies looks back at the past century of quantum mechanics—the most disruptive theory in the history of modern science.

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, connects quantum mechanics to infinitely intricate mathematical structures. Hofstadter was ...

A research team at the Jülich Supercomputing Center, together with experts from NVIDIA, has set a new record in quantum simulation: for the first time, a universal quantum computer with 50 qubits has ...

Teleportation is a reality in 2025 — well, at least for quantum computers. In February 2025, Oxford University demonstrated the teleportation of quantum data from one independent quantum processor to ...

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 ...
