Now a team of quantum theorists from Spain have used numerical simulations to show that, on large scales, features of the classical world can emerge from a wide class of quantum systems.

An explanation of quantum mechanics, in terms of how well you remember someone’s name when you see him. Computing with qubits. Another difference is that classical bits can be operated on ...
