Quantum Computing Without Qubits
...analog quantum computing with optical lattices and cold atom traps. What are the main challenges for these quantum simulators? Because the evolution of the analog simulation is not digitized, the...
The Particle That Broke a Cosmic Speed Limit
...window into the laws of physics at otherwise unreachable scales — maybe even connecting particle physics with the evolution of the cosmos as a whole. At the very least, they...
A Private View of Quantum Reality
...speed of light is the ultimate speed limit, we’re saying that we can’t go beyond the speed of light. But just as our brains have gotten bigger through Darwinian evolution,...
The Fuzzball Fix for a Black Hole Paradox
...hole information paradox. The Horizon Problem Mathur’s fuzzball conjecture owes its evolution to his longstanding fascination with this paradox, another consequence of Hawking radiation. Hawking noted that according to quantum...
A Life in Games
...system is so transparent that there should be no surprises at all,” Eno said, “but in fact there are plenty: The complexity and ‘organic-ness’ of the evolution of the dot...
Einstein’s Parable of Quantum Insanity
...only their positions, but also their velocities and their masses. Armed with that information, classical mechanics predicts the system’s future evolution completely. Classical mechanics, given its broader concept of physical...
Networks Untangle Malaria’s Deadly Shuffle
...Research Council, The Gambia Unit, in Fajara. Caroline Buckee set out to track the evolutionary history of the deadly Plasmodium falciparum parasite. New evidence from Larremore and his collaborators, however,...
Solution: ‘Creating Art With Mathematics’
...puzzles. When we encounter situations that require a lot of representational complexity in our brains, such as a disordered scene or a messy problem, we are programmed by evolution to...
Solution: ‘Be Still My Pulsating Sequence’
...evolution has hard-wired Occam’s razor in our brains, and the gradual increase in the complexity of the universe from simple beginnings also makes such elegant patterns more likely in nature....
