Quick: what’s 4 + 5? Nine right? Slightly less quick: what’s five plus four? Still nine, right? Okay, let’s wait a few seconds. Bear with me. Feel free to have a quick stretch. You’ve just performed a ...

Quantum computing is a complex marriage of math, physics and IT that will take society’s achievements to amazing new levels.

Imagine the tap of a card that bought you a cup of coffee this morning also let a hacker halfway across the world access your bank account and buy themselves whatever they liked. Now imagine it wasn’t ...

Imagine zooming into matter at the quantum scale, where tiny particles can interact in more than a trillion configurations at once. If that sounds complicated, it is. Physicists often rely on ...

Encryption—the process of sending a scrambled message that only the intended recipient’s device can decode—allows private and public sectors alike to safeguard information. Traditional encryption uses ...

Photo of the experimental setup to couple MWs to N- 𝑉⁢s using grape dimers. A stripped optical fiber with N- 𝑉 spins, cantilevered from a rod, lies between two grapes. The grapes were positioned on ...

Scientists are like prospectors, excavating the natural world seeking gems of knowledge about physical reality. And in the century just past, scientists have dug deep enough to discover that reality’s ...

Mathematician and author David Orrell, an economist who received his PhD at Oxford University, says the future of economics is quantum. Quantum economics is the idea that the same kinds of models used ...

Professor Adam Sikora is helping advance and popularize the growing field of quantum topology, which connects topology and geometry with quantum physics through surprising cross-fertilization of ideas ...

In 2021 an unconventional pair of collaborators embarked on a bold experiment. For two years Steven Rayan, a mathematician and mathematical physicist, and Jeff Presslaff, a freelance composer, pianist ...
