Quantum machine learning is an exciting and rapidly growing field.
The discovery and development of optical tweezers won the 2018 Nobel Prize in physics. Now physicists are using this tool to crack some of the fundamental questions behind how the universe works.
Researchers’ views depend in part on what technology is (or will be) capable of – and in part on what consciousness actually is.
It’s a century-old debate: what is the meaning of the wave function, the central object of quantum mechanics? Is Schrödinger’s cat really dead and alive? I was recently involved in an experiment conducted…
