Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) at the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute and ...

The Riemann hypothesis claims that the locations of prime numbers along the infinite number line all adhere to a beautiful and orderly but obscure formula. Yet 167 years after German mathematician ...

Medical imaging methods such as ultrasound and MRI are often affected by background noise, which can introduce blurring and obscure fine anatomical details in the images. For clinicians who depend on ...

The only snag was that “Shor’s algorithm”, as it is now known, required something that at the time only existed on university blackboards: a quantum computer. These days, quantum computers—which ...

Quantum computers have the potential to solve problems far beyond the reach of today's fastest supercomputers. But today's machines are notoriously fragile. The quantum bits, or "qubits," that store ...

Irrational numbers have underpinned quantum mechanics for a century. Removing them could eliminate its strangest features and ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — 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 ...
