A research team at the Jülich Supercomputing Center, together with experts from NVIDIA, has set a new record in quantum simulation: for the first time, a universal quantum computer with 50 qubits has ...

Researchers at the quantum computing firm Quantinuum used a new Helios-1 quantum computer to simulate a mathematical model that has long been used to study superconductivity. These simulations are not ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Despite how it may feel some days, we probably aren’t stuck in a ...

A computer simulation developed at MIT and commissioned by the Club of Rome in the early 1970s projected a possible collapse of civilization around 2040—if growth, resources and pollution trends ...

For two decades, scientists have seriously considered whether we’re living in a simulated universe. A computer scientist at the University of Louisville explores ways that humans could try to hack our ...

In this week's It’s Debatable article, Rick Rosen and Charles Moster debate whether we're all living in a computer simulation like the Matrix. Rosen retired as a professor from the Texas Tech ...

It’s not surprising anymore to encounter someone who works in tech and entertains “the simulation hypothesis,” which is the idea that we are probably living inside a virtual reality program. But I ...

Is this real life? Is this just fantasy? A growing number of scientists are suggesting that the idea that we are all living in a simulation may not be completely far-fetched. Simulation theory is the ...

A computer visualization maps small bodies in the solar system that are expected to be observed by the Rubin Observatory during the 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time. Red indicates near-Earth ...

File this one under "fun to think about, probably not changing your day job": a new study just dropped that suggests gravity itself might be the smoking gun that our entire universe is one big ...

Melvin M. Vopson is affiliated with the University of Portsmouth and the Information Physics Institute. We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature – one of the ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature–one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...
