A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

While the concept of quantum computing has been discussed for more than 40 years, only recently have experiments indicated that a practical quantum computer may be possible. Recent developments in ...

Quasicrystals couldn't be simulated with quantum mechanics because of their irregular atomic patterns. A new method overcomes this challenge. (Nanowerk News) A rare and bewildering intermediate ...
