Tensor networks enable researchers to tackle quantum physics problems previously thought to be solvable only by quantum computers. Credit: Lucy Reading-Ikkanda/Simons Foundation By applying a 1980s ...

A seven-team Giannis Antetokounmpo trade to the Boston Celtics sounds outrageous, but the framework only starts to make sense ...

I have a confession that probably won't surprise anyone who knows me well: I love reading books about mathematicians. Not because I understand the dense mathematics. I struggled through four semesters ...

Incumbent Rep. Lateefah Simon has built a massive early lead over challenger Jamie Joyce in the Congressional District 12 race. Simon was leading with 83% of the vote against Joyce, who had 17% of the ...

Associate professor of mathematics Otis Chodosh ’10 Ph.D. ’15 received the 2026 New Horizons in Mathematics Prize from the Breakthrough Prize Foundation. The prize comes with a $100,000 award and ...

The cosmological constant is the mathematical description of the energy that drives the ever-accelerating expansion of the cosmos. It's also the source of one of the most enduring and confounding ...

The cosmological constant has been a problem in physics since Einstein, but new research may show why it takes the value that it does despite quantum fluctuations that should make its value ...

Mathematician Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London is training computers how to prove one of the most famous problems in math history: Fermat’s last theorem. Resolving the problem isn’t the point.

Simon Broucke didn’t expect to use his mathematics degree for his music assistant job at “Masquerade,” the new interactive revival of “The Phantom of the Opera” in New York. But when “Masquerade” ...
