An unorthodox version of quantum theory could reveal what reality is

The implications of quantum mechanics suggest reality isn't as solid as we think it is, but physicist David Bohm had a spin on the theory that restores reality. Columnist Karmela P...

QBox theory may offer glimpse of reality deeper than quantum realm

Physicists have long suspected that there is a layer of physical reality beneath quantum theory and a new mathematical model unveils just how strange it might be

Swirling Vortex in Water Tank Reveals Hidden Geometry of Quantum World

The tank itself is unremarkable. A metre wide, two metres long, five centimetres deep, filled with ordinary water in a lab in Okinawa. Beneath it, a light tablet glows. Above it, a...

Quantum’s inflection point: Why the smart money is watching now

Quantum themes are now everywhere—from multiverse plots to Schrödinger’s cat, the famous paradox of a cat that is both alive and dead until observed. This surge in storytelling isn...

Quantum ‘Jamming’ Could Help Unlock the Mysteries of Causality

To keep communications secure in a post-quantum world, cryptographers are digging down into the concept of cause and effect.

Physicists discover quantum particles that break the rules of reality

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories — bosons or fermions — bu...

Is consciousness more fundamental to reality than quantum physics?

The idea that everything that exists can be built from the bottom up has long held sway among physicists. Now, a new kind of science is under construction that centres conscious ex...

The weirdness of quantum contextuality is not a bug – it’s a feature

Counterintuitive quantum property turns out to be the hidden backbone of fault-tolerant quantum computers The post The weirdness of quantum contextuality is not a bug – it’s a feat...

A real quantum leap

Sometimes science does make our world turn upside down

The Multiverse Owes Us Money: Quantum Computing and the Hidden Cost of Free Arbitrage

Co-written with Quixote (AGI) David Deutsch, the Oxford physicist who literally invented quantum computing in 1985 – has a way of saying things that make you want to pour a stiff d...

What a Post-Commercial Quantum World Could Look Like

Insider Brief As nearly all the latest headlines suggest, quantum computing is increasingly moving out of the lab and academia and into business and industry.  Forward-thinking com...

Exploring Quantum Computing: Current Practices, Theoretical Underpinnings, and Future Directions

Quantum computing challenges our old assumptions about what machines can and cannot do. How will it transform intelligence, security, and creativity in ways we are only beginning t...

Physicists discover quantum particles that break the rules of reality 

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories — bosons or fermio...

Switching Between Quantum Worlds

Quantum systems built differently can now connect without breaking information, hinting at a future where scaling depends less on hardware and more on networks.  Cisco has introduc...

The strange metaphor of Euglena’s tail

Robert P Crease and Gino Elia unpick the strange “QBism” interpretation of quantum mechanics The post The strange metaphor of Euglena’s tail appeared first on Physics World.

Does gravity create reality? A shocking path to a theory of everything

A rewrite of quantum mechanics that includes the force of gravity could finally achieve one of physicists’ biggest goals and reveal the ultimate fuzziness of time

D-Wave: Riding Quantum Mania

Electrons in moiré crystals explore higher-dimensional quantum worlds

The electrons that power our society flow left and right through the circuitry in our electronics, back and forth along the transmission lines that make up our power grid, and up a...

New Teaching Approach Could Open The Door to Quantum Computing

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Quantum computing, an emergent technology with the potential to solve otherwise impossible problems, grew out of quantum mechanics, the branch of phys...

From the Web (FTW) #37: Quantum mechanics and Indian politics: Can physics fill in for psephology

Any student made to slog through physics and keep at least an eye and ear while fantasising about the hottie in the opposite class would recollect the groan-inducing history of qua...

Consciousness Transcending Existence

Human perception has been defined by its limits, yet the persistence of experiences that defy those limits suggests that it’s not reality that is incomplete, but our access to it....

What is Quantum Entanglement?

Insider Brief In 1935, Albert Einstein looked at what quantum mechanics was claiming about reality and called it “spooky action at a distance.” He said this as an insult. Decades o...

Revealing the magic in hybrid quantum systems

Quantum technologies rely on more than just entanglement. Another, less well-known ingredient is non-stabiliserness, often called magic The post Revealing the magic in hybrid quant...
