For decades, entanglement has been the hallmark of quantum weirdness, a ghostly connection between particles that Einstein famously called "spooky action at a distance." It is at the heart of quantum ...
Quantum mechanics replaced the clockwork certainty of classical physics with something far stranger: a framework in which particles do not follow single, predictable paths but instead exist as clouds ...
Randomness is incredibly useful. People often draw straws, throw dice or flip coins to make fair choices. Random numbers can enable auditors to make completely unbiased selections. Randomness is also ...
In the early 1960s the physicist John Bell dreamt up one of the most profound experimental tests ever imagined. While on sabbatical in the US on leave from CERN, he had been contemplating the ...
Momentum is building for quantum computing and some observers say that a usable, fault-tolerant quantum system could appear in the next few years. We have written ...
