Researchers at the University of British Columbia Okanagan have published a mathematical argument that, they say, rules out ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. What if everything we experience in the world was nothing more than an elaborate simulated reality? The simulation hypothesis ...

A physicist has mounted one of the most detailed technical challenges yet against the idea that our universe is a computer ...

Elon Musk and others find it plausible that our experiences result from events in a computer simulation, just like the characters in the Matrix movies. An alternative view, supported by both common ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

For humans, background noise is generally just a minor irritant. But for quantum computers, which are very sensitive, it can be a death knell for computations. And because “noise” for a quantum ...

When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy levels, atoms vibrate, and chemical bonds shift—all within millionths of a ...

WILMINGTON – Are we actually living in a computer simulation feeding us our sensory information? That was the question asked by two University of North Carolina at Wilmington professors at Cucalorus ...

Researchers have used quantum computers to simulate spin defects, an important material property for the next generation of quantum computers. Scientists achieve important milestone in making quantum ...
