Nanoscale logic machines go beyond binary computing

(Âé¶¹ÒùÔº)—Scientists have built tiny logic machines out of single atoms that operate completely differently than conventional logic devices do. Instead of relying on the binary switching paradigm like that used by transistors ...

Âé¶¹ÒùÔºicists extend quantum machine learning to infinite dimensions

Âé¶¹ÒùÔºicists have developed a quantum machine learning algorithm that can handle infinite dimensions—that is, it works with continuous variables (which have an infinite number of possible values on a closed interval) instead ...

Proposed test would offer strongest evidence yet that the quantum state is real

(Âé¶¹ÒùÔº)—Âé¶¹ÒùÔºicists are getting a little bit closer to answering one of the oldest and most basic questions of quantum theory: does the quantum state represent reality or just our knowledge of reality?

The universe, where space-time becomes discrete

In quantum gravity, classical physics and quantum mechanics are at odds: scientists are still uncertain how to reconcile the quantum "granularity" of space-time at the Planck scale with the theory of special relativity. In ...
