A MATHEMATICIAN from the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) and his Norwegian colleague have developed a new ...

Quantum computing is still in the early stages of development, but it has proven to be an extremely powerful tool for various applications. While most demonstrations of their efficiency are limited to ...

The course aims to give a brief and self-contained introduction to the mathematical methods of quantum mechanics. Although the materials are related to physics, they are presented in a more ...

Is the world’s first commercial quantum computer the real deal or not? No one is quite sure. The most recent experiment adding fodder to this debate used the quantum computer made by the Canadian ...

Quantum computers could soon be able to solve genuinely useful mathematical problems faster than classical computers, claims quantum computing firm Quantinuum. It would be the first example of these ...

An experimental computer made by a Canadian company has proved its ability to solve increasingly complex mathematical problems. But the question remains — just how much of this calculating power is ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...

Enormous disks of stars or debris can operate under the same rules as subatomic particles, changing based on the Schrodinger equation, which physicists use to model quantum-mechanical systems. Viewing ...

A new report by Capgemini warns that quantum computing may break the widely used public-key cryptographic systems within the next decade — threatening everything from online banking to blockchain ...
