Fast forward two decades and I have a fellowship in the history of science. This semester I am teaching a history course in the morning and quantum mechanics in the afternoon.

He charts the history of the curious concept from the pioneering work of Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger in the 1930s; through to the brilliant insights of John Stewart Bell in the 1960s; and on ...

In one sign of the potential gains, a researcher at Google claimed recently to have devised a 20-fold reduction in the scale of a quantum computer that would be needed to run Shor’s algorithm, which ...

Deep tech 100 years of quantum physics: From 1920s theories to mind-bending computers of 2020 Why do quantum objects keep getting weirder?

Quantum history In the eponymous double-slit experiment, first performed by Thomas Young in 1801, light behaved like waves.

Quantum information technologies rely on entanglement, the phenomenon by which particles become so closely correlated that their states cannot be described independently of each other. But in real ...

A century after the quantum revolution, a lot of uncertainty remains.

The claim that a quantum computer has done something a classical machine can't has generated plenty of excitement, but true quantum computing will take time to appear ...

The enigmatic X-37B spaceplane has embarked on another mission, this time with a groundbreaking payload: a quantum GPS ...
