"Quantum" may seem like a useless buzzword, but quantum computing is a real thing, and it's actually understandable even if ...

Yet it is not regarded as absurd today. After exhaustive proofs of entanglement's authenticity in the real world, it is now the key resource in quantum information theory, allowing quantum ...

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 ...
