Here’s how I distinguish science from philosophy. Science addresses questions that can be answered, potentially, through empirical investigation. Examples: What’s the best way to defeat COVID-19? What ...

Sam Mugel, Ph.D., is the CTO of Multiverse Computing, a global leader in developing value-driven quantum solutions for businesses. Quantum mechanics, which is the study of the behavior of sub-atomic ...

Quantum computing holds promise for complex financial modelling, but current technology is limited by noise and qubit count, with practical applications still years away, despite theoretical speed-ups ...

This post is in response to Quantum Effects In the Brain By Robert Lanza M.D. In his 2019 New York Times opinion piece entitled, “Even Physicists Don’t Understand Quantum Mechanics. Worse, they don’t ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

Duplicating the information held in quantum computers was thought to be impossible thanks to the no-cloning theorem, but researchers have now found a workaround ...

In the quantum world, processes can be separated into two distinct classes. One class, that of the so-called "perturbative" phenomena, is relatively easy to detect, both in an experiment and in a ...

Recent advances in photonic technology are redefining decision-making processes by integrating quantum dots with bandit problem algorithms. Quantum dots – nanoscale semiconductor particles – ...

Albert Einstein famously said that quantum mechanics should allow two objects to affect each other’s behaviour instantly across vast distances, something he dubbed “spooky action at a distance” 1.

Going to smaller and smaller distance scales reveals more fundamental views of nature, which means if we can understand and describe the smallest scales, we can build our way to an understanding of ...
