A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the ...

Imagine the tap of a card that bought you a cup of coffee this morning also let a hacker halfway across the world access your bank account and buy themselves whatever they liked. Now imagine it wasn’t ...

Physicists are quietly advancing a radical idea: time might not be a single, thin line but a full three‑dimensional landscape ...

Post-quantum cryptography specialist BTQ Technologies has introduced ‘Bitcoin Quantum,’ a permissionless fork and testnet of ...

Imagine zooming into matter at the quantum scale, where tiny particles can interact in more than a trillion configurations at once. If that sounds complicated, it is. Physicists often rely on ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.
