Quantum mechanics has always carried a quiet tension. At its core, the theory allows particles to exist in many states at once, described by a mathematical object called a wavefunction. Yet daily life ...

Quantum mechanics is rich with paradoxes and contradictions. It describes a microscopic world in which particles exist in a superposition of states—being in multiple places and configurations all at ...

Quantum theory has long treated time as a silent backdrop, a parameter that never jitters even as particles flicker in and out of superposition. A new line of work now argues that this picture is ...

When the GenAI hype was just picking up steam, I wrote about the danger of drowning in LLM-produced blah if we failed to utilize the expertise of human linguists. It gives me no pleasure to say I was ...

Researchers at the upstart lab Emergence AI allowed AI models to govern their own simulated world to see what would happen.
