Exploring bleeding edge experiments, oddities, new and bizarre dicoveries, and fact-checking conspiracy theories since 2008. No question is out of bounds and no topic is too strange for a deep dive.

Websites were abuzz about quantum entangled tardigrades, making readers wonder what exactly does that mean and why you would do it.

Quantum computers are coming. But what exactly are they and what can they do for us?
# science
It turns out that some quantum systems don't want to decay into their most chaotic state. Instead, they want to return to the state in which they started.

In the next ten years or so, your internet experience will be the same as today. But that internet may be built on complex quantum interactions instead of bits and bytes flying between routers and servers.

Some computer scientists are so eager to work work quantum computers, they created a new language to make working with quantum circuits easier.

Michio Kaku talks quantum computing at Big Think. It doesn't go well. It doesn't go well at all.

Supercomputers may be able to perform calculations at the speed of light, and maybe slightly faster if we're feeling adventurous, according to a pair of studies.

Before we build practical quantum computers, we need to learn how to read quantum states. One idea may be to make the circuits bigger. Much bigger. At least on a nano scale that is...
