Quantum Computers

Scientists have for the first time made an advanced machine known as a quantum computer simulate ghostly particles that fluctuate in and out of existence.

The Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment is even weirder than people thought, with the quantum cat trapped in a box able to be alive and dead in two places at once.

A new property of light has been unearthed in bizarre, corkscrew-shaped strips of light.

Scientists have created a new state of matter that seems to split electrons.

Scientists have devised a way to get quantum information from a black hole, but the amount of information they can get is limited.

The one thing everyone knows about quantum mechanics is its legendary weirdness, in which the basic tenets of the world it describes seem alien to the world we live in.

The prototype of the memcomputer, which works by mimicking the human brain, could one day lead to computers that solve notoriously difficult math problems and could even help to break codes.

Building a quantum computer can sometimes yield unexpected benefits — like providing the right environment to demonstrate that Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity is, in fact, correct.
