A new study addresses a foundational problem in the theory of driven quantum matter by extending the Středa formula to ...

Quantum computing is a lot to wrap your mind around. To put things very simply (as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did recently, with surprising eloquence) regular computers are made up of bits ...

In 1655 the English mathematician John Wallis published a book in which he derived a formula for pi as the product of an infinite series of ratios. Now researchers from the University of Rochester, in ...

In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

Quantum computing is widely believed to be a revolutionary new technology. In fact, it is a double-edged sword. If efficient ...

An experimental computer made by a Canadian company has proved its ability to solve increasingly complex mathematical problems. But the question remains — just how much of this calculating power is ...
