A specially tweaked classical computer system has just solved a physics problem so complex it was thought to be impossible without a quantum computer. The problem is the simulation of what are called ...

Quantum computing’s edge looked closer after a hard physics problem seemed beyond classical machines. But a new result shows ...

Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) at the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute and ...

In May of last year, after a 13-month slumber, the ground beneath Washington’s Puget Sound rumbled to life. The quake began more than 20 miles below the Olympic mountains and, over the course of a few ...
