Per Moskvitch, Aaronson later watched the episode with his own two children, who kept asking follow-up questions. “This is the intended audience,” Moskvitch told Ars. “It’s parents watching, ideally ...

Jewel discusses how she made Heart of the Ocean, a sculptural soundscape that reflects oceanographic data in real time, ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm is reshaping how scientists approach some of the most complex materials known, enabling ...

Quantum technologies like quantum computers are built from quantum materials. These types of materials exhibit quantum properties when exposed to the right conditions. Curiously, engineers can also ...

What do cars, bridges and airplanes have in common? They are all exposed to the open air most of the time and are subjected to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Airplanes are particularly ...

Quantum computing promises to reshape energy by enabling advanced simulations and accelerating materials discovery for carbon ...

Part 1 of this series explained what quantum computers actually are. Not just faster versions of regular computers, but a fundamentally different kind of machine that exploits the weird rules of ...

The quantum computing advent does not only threaten blockchains, it also poses huge risks to banking systems, military ...

The dreaded Q-day could arrive sooner than expected, and when it does, experts say we need to be ready. Reading time 8 minutes In 1994, American mathematician Peter Shor developed a quantum algorithm ...

Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world’s ...

The spin-off company ParityQC has implemented the largest quantum Fourier transform ever reported using an IBM quantum computer, thereby setting a new milestone on the path toward the industrial ...

At this point, quantum computing is about making incremental steps on the pathway toward fault tolerance and commercial viability. Error correction needs to be ...
