A growing body of theoretical and experimental work in physics is converging on a striking possibility: time, the dimension humans experience as a constant forward flow, may not be a fundamental ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

Preserving quantum information is key to developing useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow laws of thermodynamics, eventually leading to information ...

An international group of researchers have investigated the role of memory in quantum systems and dynamics. Their findings ...

Time feels like the most basic feature of reality. Seconds tick, days pass, and everything from planetary motion to human memory seems to unfold along a single, irreversible direction. We are born and ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

Experts are calling for the cryptographic systems on which the entire network depends to be made ready now for the imminent ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...

Quantum computing in 2026 still isn't a faster laptop. It doesn't make email snappier, and it won't speed up spreadsheets.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Sai writes about healthcare, innovation and technology. Leveraging the principles of quantum physics, quantum computing can ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.
