Quantum theory in chemistry explains the behavior of atoms and molecules at the smallest scales, which is essential for understanding chemical reactions and properties. It provides the framework for ...

EDITOR’S NOTE: Every year, hundreds of undergraduates at the University of Delaware dig into research under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Such experiences provided by UD — a nationally recognized ...

Sometimes a visually compelling metaphor is all you need to get an otherwise complicated idea across. In the summer of 2001, a Tulane physics professor named John P.

Whether quantum computers can actually solve practical problems is one of the biggest unanswered questions of this growing industry – and one that might be answered by researchers in industrial and ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

Computing hasn’t changed fundamentally since the advent of the abacus 4,500 years ago. But that could change imminently as the world ushers in the quantum computer, a radically new type of computing ...
