Black holes are one of those physical objects whose complete description escapes our theories. Quantum mechanics and general relativity don’t work particularly well together and this leads to ...

In a laboratory at Oxford University, scientists have achieved something that once seemed science fiction: they made two ...

Despite the hype and hoopla surrounding the burgeoning field of quantum computing, the technology is still in its infancy. Just a few years ago, researchers were making headlines with rudimentary ...

For the first time, researchers have mathematically proven that a quantum computer needs less computational power to solve a ...

Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s Spaceborne Computer-2, sent to the International Space Station in February 2021, is linked to Microsoft’s Azure cloud through NASA and HPE ground stations. Credit: NASA ...

Space-filling designs such as Latin hypercube designs (LHDs) are widely used in computer experiments. However, finding an optimal LHD with good space-filling properties is computationally cumbersome.

A quantum computer experiment simulated a wormhole-like transfer of information, demonstrating a key principle but not ...

In a lab in Hangzhou, China, a small chip may have just passed one of the most difficult honesty tests in physics. The test ...

In 1952, at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, theoretical physicists Enrico Fermi, John Pasta and Stanislaw Ulam brainstormed ways to use the MANIAC, one of the world’s first supercomputers, to solve ...

Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) is a popular method for evaluating the expectation of functions in computer experiments. However when the expectation of interest is taken with respect to a nonuniform ...

Cyberscope turned one year old last week, and we're feeling a little nostalgic. Events from the sunny days of the personal computer's youth run through our heads like a Hall and Oates tune. "The point ...

IBM and HSBC tested quantum computers for bond trading and saw better prediction results. The experiment showed quantum ...
