Dive deep into the scientific puzzle that shook physics—the Ultraviolet Catastrophe. Using classical laws, Lord Rayleigh and Sir James Jeans predicted that energy emitted by hot objects should rise ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. This article is more than 9 years old. My social media feeds in the ...

That sound you hear is the tick-tock of a super-accurate quantum clock, counting down the time until quantum information science enables a leap forward in cybersecurity, navigation, code breaking and ...

A new study describes how machine learning tools, run on classical computers, can be used to make predictions about quantum systems and thus help researchers solve some of the trickiest physics and ...

Editor’s Note: Professor WERNER HEISENBERG, who was born in Duisburg in 1901, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for his work on the quantum theory. A member of the faculty of the ...

Researchers have proposed a new interpretation of classical physics without real numbers. This new study challenges the traditional view of classical physics as deterministic. Researchers from the ...

IBM's quantum computing roadmap leads to the development of quantum processors with thousands of qubits by 2025. Like the early developers of conventional computing methods back in the 1940s, today’s ...
