A message from the future sounds like science fiction, until someone starts asking how many bits it could actually carry.

One of the film’s most memorable scenes shows Cooper sending messages to his daughter from inside a black hole. While the sequence was designed as science fiction, new research suggests the underlying ...

Can you send messages in the past to someone? Time travel messages come with a paradox: if you send a message to the past which changes the future, no one is really sending the messages in the first ...

The scene from Interstellar is iconic: a father stranded in the future, tapping messages to his daughter, who lives decades in his past. Every physicist who ever watched it registered the same thought ...

A growing number of quantum engineers worldwide have been trying to realize large-scale quantum networks, which consist of ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a new way to instantly detect elusive quantum “W states,” a major milestone for quantum technology. The breakthrough could help unlock faster quantum communication, ...

In Zeno’s paradox, Greek hero Achilles races a tortoise but can never reach it, revealing a timeless puzzle about motion and ...

The latest trends in software development from the Computer Weekly Application Developer Network. Sometimes classed as a Japanese startup, OptQC works with optical photonic technologies to develop a ...

This week, researchers reported that GLP-1 medications may influence the biology of aging. Hidden meltwater in deep Antarctic coastal waters has a strong climate impact. And a novel prostate cancer ...

Unlike regular computers, quantum machines use qubits, which can be zero and one simultaneously, allowing them to explore many computational possibilities at once ...

To get quantum computing to work, we will ultimately need lots of high-quality qubits, which we can tie together into groups of error-corrected logical qubits. Companies are taking distinct approaches ...

Some quantum paradoxes do not just challenge our intuitions but actively contradict the logical foundations we use to build any picture of reality at all. Trump’s Iran warning sends oil prices soaring ...
