Quantum computing has the potential of being the next big innovation. At the right size and the right price, it might even be ...

In 1981, physicist Richard Feynman first theorized the creation of quantum computers that harnessed the principles of quantum physics to process calculations that would take standard computers ...

A decade passed between the time the famed physicist Richard Feynman proposed the idea of quantum computing in the early 1980s and when the mathematician Peter Shor described a useful quantum ...

Physicist Richard Feynman once supposedly said: “If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.” The same could probably be said of time, which seems ...

Quantum computing is beset by two seemingly intractable ... information science and computation scientist. He is the Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltec and the Director ...

Can insights from topology—the study of the properties of 3D objects that persist when an object is stretched or compressed—be applied in the field of quantum information processing?

Richard Feynman was a man of many talents: accomplished author, lively lecturer, Nobel Prize-winning physicist, halfway decent bongo player. Among his arsenal of skills was an unwavering tendency to ...

Small wonder Nobel laureate Richard Feynman supposedly said: “If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.” Not that physicists have stopped trying.

Irrespective of what he got right and what he got wrong in his famous 1959 lecture, Richard ... Feynman's lecture. He recognized the importance of being able to miniaturize the components of ...
