"The tech industry has grown ever more rich off big ideas that were developed more than a decade ago. New things like quantum computing and self-driving cars could take a while."

"In a 2018 paper, researchers said they found evidence of an elusive theorized particle. A closer look now suggests otherwise."

Recent experiments show that particles should be able to go faster than light when they quantum mechanically “tunnel” through walls.

>"Quantum mechanics is strange. A philosopher explains just how strange, and what it means for reality."

"If you ask a normal computer to figure its way out of a maze, it will try every single branch in turn, ruling them all out individually until it finds the right one. A quantum computer can go down every path of the maze at once. It can _...Read More_

Quantum computers might be here sooner than expected... curious if bitcoin devs have a contingency plan for this.

Now Gidney and Ekerå have shown how a quantum computer could do the calculation with just 20 million qubits. Indeed, they show that such a device would take just eight hours to complete the calculation.  “[As a result], the worst case _...Read More_

"Using an IBM quantum computer, they managed to undo the aging of a single, simulated elementary particle by one millionth of a second. But it was a Pyrrhic victory at best, requiring manipulations so unlikely to occur naturally that it _...Read More_

"And today, Massimiliano Proietti at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh and a few colleagues say they have performed this experiment for the first time: they have created different realities and compared them. Their conclusion is that _...Read More_
