Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, NVIDIA, and HPE will seek to open new insights into quantum ...

The quantum computing industry is at a critical inflection point, shifting from "scientific fantasy" to practical industrial ...

The natural complexity of the universe should phase out the possibility of some advanced civilization controlling reality itself, researchers argue.

AI focuses on learning patterns from data to make decisions; quantum computing focuses on raw computational power for complex problems like molecular simulation and code-breaking.

Qubits differ from classical bits, which are coded as only 0 or 1. A qubit can be a combination of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. One way to think of it is as a coin spinning between a 0 and a 1 axis.

We build high-tech tools to make our lives easier, and then forget that we still need to think, 'How do we know it's right?' ...

Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it.

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at why AI models struggle with finance, a revolutionary superconducting ...

The uncertainty inherent to quantum mechanics has long left physicists wondering whether the observations we make on the ...
