Imaginary Numbers May Be Essential for Describing RealitySometimes, so-called complex numbers, with both real and imaginary parts, such as 2 + 3i, have streamlined calculations, but in apparently optional ways. Mathematicians were disturbed, centuries ago, to find that calculating the properties of certain curves demanded the seemingly impossible: numbers that,…

The meaning withoutFor living, he reads, listens to music, travels, treks the Himalayas, cycles city roads, and drinks coffee. Einstein and Neils Bohr, his lifelong friend, and a founding father of Quantum physics, used to argue incessantly about the uncertainty engrained in the subatomic world. Thus, we not only find…
Google Teams With D-Wave in Massive Quantum Computing Leap, Cracking Simulation Problem“…In collaboration with scientists at Google, demonstrating a computational performance advantage, increasing with both simulation size and problem hardness, to over 3 million times that of corresponding classical methods. In a press release, D-Wave says its quantum device has…
SD Times Open-Source Project of the Week: PennyLaneThe project’s key features include: Machine learning on quantum hardware through PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, Keras or NumPy Ability to run the same quantum circuit on different quantum backends Built-in tools for quantum machine learning, optimization, and quantum chemistry. This, in turn, is driving…
Hong Kong: political turmoil provokes difficult decisions about whether to leaveSo in principle, it will allow up to 5.4 million Hong Kong residents to come to the UK to work, to live, to study, and become British citizens. So if you’re thinking about doubling the search rate, you might be…
Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence: A Transformational MatchThe quantum computing market will reach $2.2 Billion, and the number of installed quantum computers will reach around 180 in 2026, with about 45 machines produced in that year. Each of these particles is known as a quantum bit, or qubit, the nature…
The Mystery of Human Evolution Could Be Explained by Quantum TunnelingThis DNA-level proton tunneling would lead to atoms sometimes showing up in the wrong strand of DNA — like genetic whack-a-mole — eventually leading to mutations. This process — called abiogenesis — involves water near the vents moving out into…
Could quantum computers fix political polls?If the polling industry said, “Well, OK, three or four points, no big deal, let’s just keep doin’ what we’re ,” then odds are, whatever problems you’d have this year, with new problems, polls might get really far off. There’s a 90% chance, according to…
QNu Labs wants to accelerate world’s transition to quantum safe security: Sunil Gupta, Co-Founder, CEO of QNu LabsWe used a quantum physics principle, which is, again, unbreakable, to build the security. When asked since data is the new oil, what are the basics at QNu Labs that make it different…
“And So It Begins” –Quantum Physicists Create a New Universe With Its Own RulesWhat if our world, our universe, following Einstein’s insight, is the result of a quantum-physics experiment performed by some ancient hyper-advanced alien civilization. The researchers made qubits, the part of the quantum computer that carries out calculations,…
