What does quantum theory really tell us about the nature of reality?
For 100 years, quantum theory has painted the subatomic world as strange beyond words. But bold new interpretations and experiments may help us to finally grasp its true meaning

What exactly would a full-scale quantum computer be useful for?
As quantum computers mature, they will be transformational. But there are good reasons why we don’t yet know exactly which problems they will excel at – and that makes them all the more exciting

We kick off with a piece from the wonderful Carlo Rovelli on the origins of quantum theory, why we've tended to overlook one of its key founders, and why (he thinks) that's led us astray in grasping the overall meaning of the theory www.newscientist.com/article/mg26...
Carlo Rovelli on what we get wrong about the origins of quantum theory
Conventional accounts of the birth of quantum theory often overlook the pivotal role of one of its luminaries – and this has led to a persistent misunderstanding of what it really means, argues physic...

It makes you wonder how many planets the solar system originally had. At least one other now-lost gas giant predicted by simulations of the Nice model. So 10 (not counting Pluto)?!
