Imagine building a better clock — with entangled atoms. Sound difficult? Not for Monika Schleier-Smith, associate professor of physics at Stanford University and 2020 MacArthur Fellow. Schleier-Smith ...
THE powerful mathematical framework for understanding complex quantum operators is rooted in a field called “quantum harmonic analysis.” That’s a mouthful. These three words lumped in one phrase ...
Twenty years ago, theoretical physicists and computer scientists were developing quantum algorithms for virtual quantum computers, with no working hardware in sight. Today, just about anyone can log ...
Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly ...
