A million-dollar math mystery may someday be resolved in a physics lab. A new study brings this vision one step closer.

Quantum computing's biggest challenge isn't speed - it's proving results are correct. Here's why verification matters more ...

OpenAI confirmed the existence of Astra, a smarter, unreleased model that's already achieving big results in the math world.

The only snag was that “Shor’s algorithm”, as it is now known, required something that at the time only existed on university ...

Michael Osei is interested in whether a quantum computer is fast but also does it produce reliable, high-quality, ...

To predict when we’ll have a truly useful quantum computer, we need to know precisely what one is. Columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan finds that’s harder to pin down than you might think ...

Quantum computers promise to outperform today's traditional computers in many areas of science, including chemistry, physics, and cryptography, but proving they will be superior has been challenging.

Aaron Lauda has been exploring an area of mathematics that most physicists have seen little use for, wondering if it might have practical applications. In a twist even he didn’t expect, it turns out ...

Scientists may have uncovered the missing piece of quantum computing by reviving a particle once dismissed as useless. This particle, called the neglecton, could give fragile quantum systems the full ...
