What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world's population—most of them ...

Extending these optimizations, we adopt a block-simulation methodology applicable to qubit-qudit hybrid systems, which interprets the state vector as a collection of blocks and applies gates without ...

Quantum mechanics plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. Engineers have long sought efficient ways to convert solar ...

allowing for the observation of both "classical" and "quantum" behaviors, the latter often being decidedly counterintuitive. "These nano-oscillators are among the rare systems in which we can ...

Outside of the concert hall, ‘O Fortuna’ became the UK’s best-known piece of classical music in the early 2000s, when it was featured as the judges’ entrance music on The X Factor.

ABSTRACT: We present a new perspective on the P vs NP problem by demonstrating that its answer is inherently observer-dependent in curved spacetime, revealing an oversight in the classical formulation ...
