Quantum Computing
The Department of Energy's newest mission seeks to make a unified AI platform across all national labs. Will it help US science, or kill it?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Can quantum computers do things that standard, classical computers can't? No. But if they can calculate faster, that's quantum supremacy.
Nature may not allow us full access to the weirdness of quantum mechanics.
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 […]
To find the optimal route between many different locations, we need the power of quantum computers.
A fully programmable quantum computer that can outperform any classical computer is right at the edge of today’s technology. Earlier this month, a new story leaked out: Google, one of […]
There are plenty of questions we don’t know the answer to. With quantum gravity, they might be solved! This article is written by Sabine Hossenfelder. Sabine is a theoretical physicist specialized […]
