Recent decades have witnessed remarkable progress in establishing rigorous mathematical frameworks for quantum field theory (QFT), conformal field theory (CFT), quantum gravity and string theory.

Quantum computers can perform complex computations thanks to their ability to represent an enormous number of different states at the same time in a so-called quantum superposition. Representing these ...

TWA is one such semiclassical approach that dates back to the 1970s, but is limited to isolated, idealized quantum systems where no energy is gained or lost.

Combining a quantum-inspired algorithm and quantum information processing technologies could enable researchers to measure ...

IBM's quantum computing roadmap leads to the development of quantum processors with thousands of qubits by 2025. Like the early developers of conventional computing methods back in the 1940s, today’s ...
