quantum mechanics
One of the most famous experiments in physics demonstrates the strange nature of the quantum world.
Untangling how the human perception of cause-and-effect might arise from quantum physics may help us understand the limits and potential of AI.
Researchers are exploring if quantum mechanics could make machine learning more powerful and shed light on evolution.
We reflect on the late John Conway, the thoughts he shared with us over two interviews, and the experience of meeting him as a person and a mathematician.
Find out why scientists trying to build quantum computers might do worse than talk to birds.
Revolutionary laser tools that have changed our lives have won the Nobel prize in physics.
There are limits to how much you can simultaneously squeeze the quantum fuzziness of an electron's position and momentum
PhD student Demian Goos talks to us about his work on qunatum mechanics.
The "quantum mechanic" talks about how quantum computers might impact society and the limits of measurement.
Most of us know what we mean when we say that something has happened. For theoretical physicists, however, this isn't an easy question. Sean Carroll of the California Institute of Technology explains why it's hard to define events and what to do about it.
Most of us know what we mean when we say that something has happened. Theoretical physicists, however, struggle with the concept of an event. Why?
Imagine if your body weight depended on the colour of your underwear. Strangely, something quite similar happens when you make measurements in quantum mechanics. Discover more about contextuality in this video interview with Jeremy Butterfield, philosopher of physics.
