“The next revolution will be quantum computers that will make the digital computer look like an abacus.”
Investment in quantum is growing. Anastasia Marchenkova wants to make sure funders still ask the tough questions.
Quantum mechanics was first discovered on small, microscopic scales. 2025's Nobel Prize brings the quantum and large-scale worlds together.
There could be variables beyond the ones we've identified and know how to measure. But they can't get rid of quantum weirdness.

“An equation, perhaps no more than one inch long, that would allow us to, quote, 'Read the mind of God.'”
One of the most original and optimistic thinkers in America sketches some big ideas about what's possible with AI in the next 25 years.

"Quantum mechanics and quantum entanglement are becoming very real. We're beginning to be able to access this tremendously complicated configuration space to do useful things."
By improving quantum error correction, quantum computations are now faster than ever. But parallel universes? That's utter nonsense here.
Welcome to The Nightcrawler — a weekly newsletter from Eric Markowitz covering tech, innovation, and long-term thinking.
Quantum computing brings significant opportunities — but equally significant cybersecurity risks.
The evolution of quantum technology is far from over.

“You’re not meant to understand what I just said, because I don’t understand what I just said…” Physicist Brian Cox on one of the most complex theories in space science.
Here in the 21st century, quantum computing is quickly going from a dream to a reality. But what's hype, and what's actually true?
AI was key to making Moderna's COVID mRNA vaccine. Its role in mRNA therapeutics will rapidly grow in the coming years.

If Einstein couldn’t solve the theory of everything, could anyone? Physicist Michio Kaku explains what it would take.
Can quantum computers do things that standard, classical computers can't? No. But if they can calculate faster, that's quantum supremacy.

Theoretical physics professor Michio Kaku outlines the evolution of computers from analog to digital and introduces quantum computers as the next frontier.
Nature may not allow us full access to the weirdness of quantum mechanics.

Is science close to explaining everything about our Universe? Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder reacts.
Computers are growing more powerful and more capable, but everything has limits
The science fiction dream of a traversable wormhole is no closer to reality, despite a quantum computer's suggestive simulation.
Perhaps wormholes will no longer be relegated to the realm of science fiction.
Maybe the brain isn't "classical" after all.
We are not yet at the point where quantum communications can be deployed to secure the internet, but we might not be far off.
Quantum communication offers a surer path to sending an interstellar message, as well as receiving one. But can we do it?
How efficiently could quantum engines operate?
It’s perhaps the most famous thought experiment in all of physics, but is full of popular myths and misconceptions. One of the most bizarre ideas about the quantum Universe is […]
