If someone asked you to picture a quantum computer, what would you see in your mind? Maybe you see a normal computer-- just bigger, with some mysterious physics magic going on inside? Forget laptops ...
Computer scientists established a new boundary on computationally verifiable knowledge. In doing so, they solved major open problems in quantum mechanics and pure mathematics. In 1935, Albert Einstein ...
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 ...
