Over on YouTube [Andrew Neal] has a Function Generator Build for Beginners. As beginner videos go this one is fairly ...

Quantum coin flip: In quantum mechanics, wavefunction collapse is traditionally regarded as an instantaneous event, but quantum state diffusion treats it as a gradual process, like a coin that wobbles ...

Gosport’s newly elected Reform UK councillor has said he will be focusing on ensuring residents have the basics of safe and clean streets in his ward. Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

Whether or not Washington ever takes those stakes may matter less than what the rumors represent. We’re witnessing a fusion of industrial policy and market psychology unlike anything since the ...

In late 2025, rumors of U.S. government equity stakes in quantum firms like D-Wave and Rigetti triggered double-digit rallies, showing how speculative sentiment and policy whispers can rapidly reprice ...

Does quantum mechanics really reflect nature in its truest form, or is it just our imprecise way of describing the weird properties of the very small? A famous test that can help answer this question ...

When Jamie Gull graduated from Stanford University in 2007 with a master’s degree in aeronautics, there was one place he wanted to go next: the desert. The Mojave Desert, to be specific. A company ...

Extremely cold atoms have been nudged to self-magnify their quantum states so they can be imaged in unprecedented detail. This could help researchers better understand what quantum particles do in odd ...

Physicists recently mapped the hidden shape that underlies the quantum behaviors of a crystal, using a new method that’s expected to become ubiquitous. Famously, at the quantum scale, particles can be ...

Abstract: Quantum computers are promising powerful computers for solving complex problems, but access to real quantum hardware remains limited due to high costs. Although software simulators like ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) Physicists think that our universe started out as just a lot of quantum fluctuations. That means, if you’re able to calculate wave-function of those quantum fluctuations, you ...
