Hughes attempts to show that the mathematics of quantum mechanics, which can seem terribly arbitrary and ad hoc, has sensible underpinnings.

The course aims to give a brief and self-contained introduction to the mathematical methods of quantum mechanics. Although the materials are related to physics, they are presented in a more ...

Wrapping your head around quantum physics is tricky, no matter how well-educated you are -- if it were easy, there wouldn't be problems making quantum computers. However, researchers at the ...

Quantum computing is a lot to wrap your mind around. To put things very simply (as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did recently, with surprising eloquence) regular computers are made up of ...

A “no math” (but seven-part) guide to modern quantum mechanics Welcome to "The curious observer’s guide to quantum mechanics"–featuring particle/wave duality.

To overcome these challenges, Lauda and his team of physicists and mathematicians focused on a new class of mathematical theories called non-semisimple topological quantum field theories (TQFTs).

Magic quantum wand does not vanish hard math Researchers show that adiabatic quantum computers are no better than classical … ...

Scientists may have uncovered the missing piece of quantum computing by reviving a particle once dismissed as useless. This particle, called the neglecton, could give fragile quantum systems the full ...
