Machine learning can get a boost from quantum physics. On certain types of machine learning tasks, quantum computers have an exponential advantage over standard computation, scientists report in the ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than others. While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a ...

The Ising model in physics describes how subatomic particle spins interact and arrange themselves inside a magnetic material. Ising machines, derived from the model, are one example of the emerging ...

IN 2025 A GROUP of theoretical physicists studying the behaviour of fundamental particles called gluons hit a brick wall in their calculations. In search of a fresh perspective, the physicists teamed ...

When the results of an experiment don’t match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off. Fifteen years ago, physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered something ...

Recent developments in AI research suggest that achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) will require both deeper ...
