Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

In the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka teleports a larger-than-life candy bar (and a small child) across the room into a television set. The idea of instantly transporting ...

Physicists have long treated space and time as the stage on which quantum particles perform, not as actors in the drama ...

Classical computations rely on binary bits, which can be in either of the two states, 0 or 1. In contrast, quantum computing is based on qubits, which can be 0, 1, or a superposition or entanglement ...

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 ...
