Two mathematicians have proved that a straightforward question—how hard is it to untie a knot?—has a complicated answer.

The manuscript by Hensley and Yildez studies the mechanical behavior of kinesin under conditions where the z-component of the applied force is minimized. The important study shows that much of the ...

Quantum mechanics has at last been formulated exclusively with real numbers, bringing a mathematical puzzle at the heart of ...

Abstract: Quantum computers promise to revolutionize information processing, offering game-changing opportunities in fields such as cryptography, machine learning, drug discovery, etc. However, ...

Every year in October our UCSB Physics faculty present an explanation of the Nobel Prize in Physics for that year.

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

Google’s Quantum Echoes now closes the loop: verification has become a measurable force, a resonance between consciousness and method. The many worlds seem to be bleeding together. Each observation is ...
