Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A new hypothesis known as the Quantum Memory Matrix (QMM) could help explain some of the biggest mysteries of the universe, including the Black Hole ...

Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily like a memory system.

It’s not easy to study quantum systems — collections of particles that follow the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, a cornerstone of quantum theory, says ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have identified a precise sweet spot where quantum reservoir computing, a machine learning approach that treats quantum systems as computational engines, reaches ...

The universe may not only be geometry and energy—but also memory. And in that memory, every moment of cosmic history may still be written. For more than a century, physics has been built on two great ...

Physicists have used Doppler-shifted nuclear resonant absorbers to form a nuclear frequency comb, enabling a quantum memory in the notoriously difficult X-ray range. Light is an excellent carrier of ...

Over the past decades, quantum physicists and engineers have developed numerous technologies that harness the principles of quantum mechanics to push the boundaries of classical information science.

Quantum teleportation is a fascinating process that involves transferring a particle's quantum state to another distant location, without moving or detecting the particle itself. This process could be ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. It’s not easy to study quantum systems—collections of particles that follow the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics.

Illustration of a nuclear frequency comb displaying single photons as visualized on a logarithmic scale from dark to bright colors, with brighter colors indicating instances of time where the stored ...
