This makes the third time in just two weeks that a major mainstream or scientific outlet published credible nonsense about acupuncture, but I had to cover it after dozens of people e-mailed me about ...

Charles H. Bennett helped pioneer the foundations of quantum information science alongside co-laureate Gilles Brassard of Université de Montréal. Bennett's more than five decades at IBM Research ...

Quantum computing holds great promise, but its foundations and the source of its advantages remain conceptually obscure. We develop a framework that contains no extraneous mathematical assumptions and ...

In 1980, Stephen Hawking gave his first lecture as Lucasian Professor at the University of Cambridge. The lecture was called "Is the end in sight for theoretical physics?" Forty-five years later, ...

Researchers have developed an experimental method for determining whether the functions performed by a quantum computer are the result of quantum mechanics — or just a clever twist on classical ...

To alumnus Gal Weitz (EngrPhys, ApMath’22), Boulder was a “dream destination” for undergrad. Now working in quantitative finance, Weitz shares how his education at CU Boulder set him up for success in ...

The dawn of quantum is upon us, and it’s not the dawn we’ve grown accustomed to. We stand on the brink of a new computational era that promises to dwarf the advancements of classical computing in ways ...

Quantum Computing (QC) is hailed as the future of computers. After Google’s claim of achieving Quantum Supremacy in 2019, several groups challenged the claim. Some QC experts attribute catastrophic ...

In 2021 an unconventional pair of collaborators embarked on a bold experiment. For two years Steven Rayan, a mathematician and mathematical physicist, and Jeff Presslaff, a freelance composer, pianist ...

One of India’s most renowned mathematicians, K R Parthasarathy, popularly known as KRP, passed away in Delhi on June 14 at the age of 87. KRP was one of the early entrants to the famous Research and ...

In 2021, Booz Allen Hamilton analysts surmised that China will surpass Europe and the US in quantum-related research and development and that Chinese hackers could soon target heavily encrypted ...
