Just_Super/Getty Images Machine learning, a process used to train artificial intelligences, can take an extremely long time – but a quantum trick could massively speed things up for tasks involving particles of light called photons. In reinforcement learning, an algorithm runs through the same problem over and over again and is given a numerical reward only when it reaches the correct answer. That process teaches it to find the correct answer more quickly when pitted against similar problems ...

Microsoft’s Quantum Lab located at the University of Sydney made breakthroughs in qubit control technology that allow us to scale beyond the physical limitations of current conventional systems. They now have the ability to control up to 50,000 qubits through …

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., March 9, 2021—Analysis of results from an experiment called MiniBooNE at Fermilab has provided yet more evidence that particles called...

Richard Feynman on the Philosophical Implications of Quantum Mechanics Richard Feynman on the Philosophical Implications of Quantum Mechanicsby wpjljron Thursday, March 26th, 2015.Richard Feynman on the Philosophical Implications of Quantum MechanicsThe following audio was taken from the Feynman lectures on physics. In this clip, Richard Feynman dismisses the “silly” attempts to extrapolate quantum mechanics into the realm of philosophy…. The following audio was taken from the Feynman lec...

To revist this article, visit My Profile, then View saved stories. Mathematicians were disturbed, centuries ago, to find that calculating the properties of certain curves demanded the seemingly impossible: numbers that, when multiplied by themselves, turn negative. All the numbers on the number line, when squared, yield a positive number; 2 2 = 4, and (-2) 2 = 4. Mathematicians started calling those familiar numbers “real” and the apparently impossible breed of numbers “imaginary.” Qua...
