The central selling point of qubit-based quantum processors is that they can supposedly solve certain types of tasks much faster than a classical computer. This comes however with the major ...
Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Theoretical physicists develop mathematical models to describe material systems, which they can then use to make predictions about how ...
A technical paper titled “Efficient Tensor Network Simulation of IBM’s Eagle Kicked Ising Experiment” was published by researchers at the Flatiron Institute and New York University. “We report an ...
Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...
While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a powerful alternative for addressing some very practical ...
A broad association of researchers from across Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California, Berkeley have collaborated to perform an unprecedented simulation ...
Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, but deep down, it's not. Over enormous timescales, it could suddenly tip ...
The 2026 edition of the traditional Boltzmann Lecture will be held on Monday, February 23rd, at 14:00, in Room 128–129. The lecture is organized by the Statistical Physics group at SISSA, close to ...
