THE powerful mathematical framework for understanding complex quantum operators is rooted in a field called “quantum harmonic analysis.” That’s a mouthful.

It's one thing to dream up a quantum internet that could send hacker-proof information around the world via photons superimposed in different quantum states. It's quite another to physically show it's ...

Quantum mechanics, the theory which rules the microworld of atoms and particles, certainly has the X factor. Unlike many other areas of physics, it is bizarre and counter-intuitive, which makes it ...
