The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer ...

Looking back at the history of computers, it’s hard to overestimate the rate at which computing power has scaled in the course of just a single human lifetime. But yet, existing classical computers ...

Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...

Researchers have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or even solid materials ...

We see countless stars and galaxies sparkling in the universe today, but how much matter is actually there? The question is simple enough — its answer, however, is turning out to be quite a ...

A new technique allows complex interactions in materials to be simulated using Monte Carlo simulations thousands of times ...

One of the most frequently asked questions about quantum computers is a simple one: When will they be useful? If you talk to people in the field, you’ll generally get a response in the form of another ...
