In 1935, Albert Einstein, working with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, grappled with a possibility revealed by the new laws of quantum physics: that two particles could be entangled, or correlated, ...

The death of US computer scientist and physicist Edward Fredkin this June went largely unnoticed, except for a belated obituary in the New York Times. Yet despite never quite becoming the household ...

“God does not play dice with the universe,” Albert Einstein is reported to have said about the field of Quantum Physics. He was referring to the great divide at the time in the physics community ...

Quantum Science and Engineering is the study and application of the principles of quantum mechanics (such as superposition and entanglement) to develop new technologies that surpass the limits of ...

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 ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...

Computer science, at its most fundamental, is all about inputs and outputs. Consider the simple case of multiplying two numbers on a pocket calculator. You punch in some inputs — the specific numbers ...

Maintenance of the software that’s used for the hardest physics calculations rests almost entirely with a retiree. The situation reveals the problematic incentive structure of academia. Recently, I ...

The response rate for the doctoral science programs surveyed in fall 2025 and early 2026 were as follows: biological sciences, 5.8%; biostatistics, 49%; chemistry, 24.2%; computer science, 31.6%; ...
