Using a relatively young theory, a team of mathematicians has started to answer questions whose roots lie at the very ...

Childs has been recognised for his contributions to quantum simulation and Hamiltonian dynamics. His work has focused on developing fast quantum algorithms for simulating Hamiltonian dynamics, which ...

We've wondered for centuries whether knowledge is latent and innate or learned and grasped through experience, and a new ...

Alexander Grothendieck was a titan in his field, making deep connections that fuelled a revolution in mathematics, before ...

For Mr. Santos, math can also inspire ideas about structures that have already been built — a new way to see and appreciate the world. Inspired by this idea, The New York Times created a virtual tour ...

A few years ago, I had lunch with the head of a major motion picture studio, who declared that his central problem was not finding good people—it was finding good ideas. Since then, when giving talks, ...

We also prove that the two sets of Maxwell equations only depend on the non-linear elations of the conformal group of ...
