After netting the world’s highest-paying science award, preeminent theoretical physicist Gerard ’t Hooft reflects on his ...

These are the kinds of questions astrophysicist and science journalist Adam Becker poses in his new book, More Everything ...

The universe has no brain. It has no gray matter, no nervous system, no neurons firing electrical impulses—and yet, that ...

They then used advanced Hamiltonian simulation techniques to model the system on a quantum computer. Hamiltonian methods provide a framework for understanding how physical systems evolve, connecting ...

Until the box is opened and the cat is observed, Schrödinger said, the rules of quantum mechanics mean that the unfortunate feline should exist in a superposition of states, simultaneously dead ...

“Standard quantum mechanical theory predicts no upper limit on and no loss of contrast [between states] due to the [heat] of a hot cat state,” the team wrote in their study, published today in ...

INNSBRUCK, Austria — A team of physicists has shattered conventional wisdom about quantum mechanics by creating “hot Schrödinger cat states” at temperatures much warmer than previously ...
