The quantum world and our everyday world are very different places. In a publication that appeared as the “Editor’s Suggestion” in Physical Review A this week, UvA physicists Jasper van Wezel and ...

The quantum world and our everyday world are very different places. Physicists now investigate how the act of measuring a quantum particle transforms it into an everyday object. The quantum world and ...

There are three types of quantum physicists: (1) those who think quantum mechanics is defaced by a so-called measurement problem; (2) those who think, as I do, that there is no measurement problem; ...

The measurement problem in quantum mechanics has challenged physicists and philosophers for almost a century. The measurement problem refers to the probablictic collapse of the deterministic wave ...

Quantum computers are designed to solve complex problems outside the scope of classic computing. Classic computers use ...

If a quantum computer can solve a problem that a classical computer cannot, that doesn’t automatically mean the solution will be hard to check. Take, for example, the problem of factoring large ...
