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

Nalini Anantharaman is a modern mathematics and physics titan, renowned for her unique ability to find order within the heart of randomness. As a leading French mathematician, she has become the world ...

Theoretical physicists are trying to understand how the many possibilities that exist in quantum physics can become 'real.' A new model developed by UC Davis researchers suggests that there may be ...

Preserving quantum information is key to developing useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow laws of thermodynamics, eventually leading to information ...

Nalini Anantharaman, a brilliant mathematician, bridges geometry, analysis, and physics with her groundbreaking work on dynamical systems and quantum chaos. Her research, which explores unpredictable ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

Photo of the experimental setup to couple MWs to N- 𝑉⁢s using grape dimers. A stripped optical fiber with N- 𝑉 spins, cantilevered from a rod, lies between two grapes. The grapes were positioned on ...

John von Neumann came about as close as humanly possible to embodying the Platonic ideal of a genius. Conversant in ancient Greek by age 6, the Hungarian made significant mathematical advances in his ...

Medical imaging methods such as ultrasound and MRI are often affected by background noise, which can introduce blurring and obscure fine anatomical details in the images. For clinicians who depend on ...

Born in Paris in 1976, Nalini Anantharaman is a leading French mathematician known for her pioneering work in quantum chaos and spectral geometry. A professor at the Collège de France, she has ...
