Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the smallest scales, erasing information is not free, it consumes energy and ...

Quantum computing is generating a lot of excitement in the tech world right now. Following several recent breakthroughs, this once theoretical technology is increasingly accessible to researchers and ...

Have you ever felt confused by quantum physics? Ever thought you've read enough and still don't understand quantum physics? Don't worry, you're not alone! Even the world's best scientists don't ...

No one can say what quantum mechanics means (and this is a book about it) -- Quantum mechanics is not really about the quantum -- Quantum objects are neither wave nor particle (but sometimes they ...

The encryption protecting communications against criminal and nation-state snooping is under threat. As private industry and governments get closer to building useful quantum computers, the algorithms ...

NPL has joined forces with other leading National Metrology Institutes to shape the international standards effort in quantum ...

An international team has confirmed that large quantum systems really do obey quantum mechanics. Using Bell’s test across 73 qubits, they proved the presence of genuine quantum correlations that can’t ...

This puzzle is known as the problem of time, and it remains one of the most persistent obstacles to a unified theory of ...
