What if your conscious experiences were not just the chatter of neurons, but were connected to the hum of the universe? In a ...

The force we experience most intimately remains the most mysterious. Physicists understand how vast migrations of particles called photons light up our homes, and how swarms of “gluon” particles hold ...

Wall Street's hottest trend in 2025 appears primed for significant disappointment in the new year. For three years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been the premier growth trend on Wall Street.

Some critics argue the threat posed by quantum computers is overblown, including Strategy chairman Michael Saylor, who has once called it a marketing ploy to pump quantum-branded tokens. Bitcoin OG ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

The U.S. Department of Energy announced on Nov. 4 that it has renewed funding for two multi-million-dollar quantum research centers led by Chicago-area national laboratories. Q-NEXT, a National ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

I have long been fascinated by the strong attraction many people feel toward quantum field theory as a way to explain extraordinary experiences. As a psychiatrist interested in coincidences and the ...

The very first computer to make use of the bizarre and unintuitive properties of quantum mechanics was born out of a collaboration between major universities and International Business Machines (IBM ...

Quantum computing promises to disrupt entire industries because it leverages the rules of quantum physics to perform calculations in fundamentally new ways. Unlike traditional computers that process ...
