Considered volume II in Susskind’s “Theoretical Minimum: What You Need to Know to Start Doing Physics” series (volume I covered classical mechanics), the authors offer highly motivated readers an ...

In this special guest feature, Elizabeth Ruetsch, General Manager for Quantum Engineering Solutions at Keysight Technologies, provides an introduction to quantum and provides a deep dive into the ...

Quantum mechanics is simultaneously beautiful and frustrating. Its explanatory power is unmatched. Armed with the machinery of quantum theory, we have unlocked the secrets of atomic power, divined the ...

Are you ready to become a leader in the emerging quantum economy? The quantum engineering minor provides a unique overview of one of the fastest-growing technological fields and will help to prepare ...

The first quantum error-correcting code was devised by Peter Shor 25 years ago. Ever since there have been numerous advances on both the theoretical and experimental ...

A conjecture called superdeterminism, outlined decades ago, is a response to several peculiarities of quantum mechanics: the apparent randomness of quantum events; their apparent dependence on human ...

Unifying quantum mechanics with general relativity is the ultimate dream — or nightmare — of physics. It would be a way to finally describe the force of gravity with the tools of quantum mechanics, ...

Join Curt Jaimungal talks to Harvard physicist Jacob Barandes and Scott Aaronson. Jacob Barandes claims quantum mechanics can be reformulated without wave functions. Barandes has a new formulation of ...

I have been to more scientific conferences than I care to count, but a recent meeting held on the island of Helgoland to celebrate the centenary of quantum mechanics is one of the strangest – in a ...

As I jogged along the Hudson River recently, a few lonely snowflakes fell, and I composed a haiku in my head: But my hopes for clarity have been dashed. My goal was to crack open the black box at the ...
