Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

This interaction could help explain both why quantum processes can occur within environments like the brain and why we lose consciousness under anesthesia.

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result ...

The mere mention of “quantum consciousness” makes most physicists cringe, as the phrase seems to evoke the vague, insipid musings of a New Age guru. But if a new hypothesis proves to be correct, ...

Photonic says it’s trying to build the world’s first highly scalable fault-tolerant quantum computer. It’s doing so with a ...
