A landmark proof in computer science has also solved an important problem called the Connes embedding conjecture. Mathematicians are working to understand it. Imagine aliens landed on Earth and handed ...

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, ...

You enter a cave. At the end of a dark corridor, you encounter a pair of sealed chambers. Inside each chamber is an all-knowing wizard. The prophecy says that with these oracles’ help, you can learn ...

Quantum computers that use entangled quantum bits or qubits will be capable verify answers to an incredibly vast set of problems. The correspondence between entanglement and computing was previously ...
