A team of German physicists has built a fully working version of quantum mechanics that uses only real numbers. Complex ...
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 ...
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 ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...
An exact expression for a key process needed in many quantum technologies has been derived by a RIKEN mathematical physicist and a collaborator. This could help to guide advances in quantum ...
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 ...
