From Classical to Quantum. This equation is so often regarded as the distilled essence of “quantumness” that it is easy to forget what it really represents.

Caltech professor of chemistry Sandeep Sharma and colleagues from IBM and the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in Japan are giving us a glimpse of the future of computing. The team has used ...

Now, FQXi-funded physicists have developed a “master equation” that will help engineers understand feedback at the quantum scale. Their results are published in the journal Physical Review ...

For the first time, a mathematical framework proves that Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which explains the relationship between space, time, and gravity, is in alignment with quantum ...

Solving equations with light. (Courtesy: iStockphoto/Henrik Jonsson) 3x + y = 2. x + 3y = 0. It’s the sort of easy maths problem that you can work out in a few minutes using pencil and paper, but ...

The Schrödinger equation—named for creator and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Erwin Schrödinger—forms the basis of quantum physics. It describes the strange behavior of atomic and subatomic ...

There’s a new equation floating around the world of physics these days that would make Einstein proud. It’s pretty easy to remember: ER=EPR. You might suspect that to make this equation work ...
