Even given a set of possible quantum states for our cosmos, it's impossible for us to determine which one of them is correct ...

Here’s why some people believe we’re living in a computer simulation of reality – like a giant video game in which we’re all the characters.

The simulation hypothesis is an impressive logical and philosophical argument that has challenged our fundamental notions of reality.

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has shifted from late-night dorm debate to a live question in ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made a significant discovery regarding quantum entanglement. This phenomenon, which has long been viewed as a ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered experimental evidence that ...

For a century, the Schrödinger equation has been the bedrock of quantum mechanics, successfully predicting how matter behaves as a wave. Yet, physics has lacked a fundamental explanation for why ...

The idea that our universe could be a simulation has moved beyond science fiction and into serious scientific debate. From philosophical arguments to modern physics, researchers have proposed ways ...

Chang’e 5 lunar samples analyzed with quantum sensors clarify how ancient lunar dynamo activity and asteroid impacts jointly produced the Moon’s remnant magnetism.

With tech stocks benefiting from sky-high valuations, one quickly-growing corner could define the sector's next chapter. That's because quantum computing offers "extraordinary potential," according to ...

By using a sophisticated 78-qubit quantum processor named "Zhuangzi 2.0", the team has successfully mastered the "rhythm" of quantum systems — a feat that has long remained beyond the reach of the ...
