The simulation of strongly interacting many-body systems is a key objective of quantum physics research, as it can help to test the predictions of physics theories and yield new valuable insight.

While a quantum computer could factor a 2048-bit RSA key in less than a week with fewer than a million qubits, there are ...

A theoretical study suggests that gravity could have quantum effects without itself being a quantum theory. Other researchers ...

It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true.

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