Researchers led by Prof. Xiaoyong Hu at Peking University, China, are interested in topological photonics. They have proposed an interdisciplinary approach to study the topological systems through ...

Blinking dots Photoluminescence image of individual quantum dots used in the experiment. Under time-dependent driving, the ...

Do we live in a simulation? This is one of those questions which has kept at least part of humanity awake at night, and which has led to a number of successful books and movies being made on the ...

Entropy estimation and information theory form the bedrock of our understanding of uncertainty and complexity in both natural and engineered systems. At its core, entropy quantifies the ...

Information theory provides a mathematical framework for quantifying information and uncertainty, forming the backbone of modern communication, signal processing, and data analysis. Central to this ...

Physicists have spent a century trying to reconcile the smooth fabric of spacetime in general relativity with the jittery quantum fields that govern particles, and gravity has stubbornly resisted ...

Entropy is one of the most useful concepts in science but also one of the most confusing. This article serves as a brief introduction to the various types of entropy that can be used to quantify the ...
