In the end, critical infrastructure’s biggest quantum risk is the outdated, manual trust models of today. Only by replacing ...

Imagine a physicist observing a quantum system whose behavior is akin to a coin toss: it could come up heads or tails. They perform the quantum coin toss and see heads. Could they be certain that ...

For years, quantum computers have been framed as the ultimate problem solvers, machines that would eventually crack any task that classical hardware could not touch. Now a new line of research is ...

Predicting the behavior of many interacting quantum particles is a complicated process but is key to harness quantum computing for real-world applications. Researchers have developed a method for ...

Get the latest federal technology news delivered to your inbox. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is looking for companies to build the hardware and software quantum computers need to ...

What happens when the growth of computing demand becomes so rapid that even the best systems become unable to match it? This ...

Strongly interacting systems play an important role in quantum physics and quantum chemistry. Stochastic methods such as Monte Carlo simulations are a proven method for investigating such systems.

NIST’s post-quantum public key encryption algorithm ML-KEM (a.k.a. CRYSTALS-Kyber) reduces to the hardness of solving mathematical problems in lattices. Similarly the security of two of NIST’s ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

Fundamental physics—let alone quantum physics—might sound complicated to many, but it can actually be applied to solve everyday problems. Imagine navigating to an unfamiliar place. Most people would ...

From subatomic particles to complex molecules, quantum systems hold the key to understanding how the universe works. But there's a catch: when you try to model these systems, that complexity quickly ...
