• Introduction to Quantum Computing: Part 1

  This book provides a concise and practical introduction to quantum computing, emphasizing an interactive, hands-on approach. It introduces and explores the essential concepts, principles and foundational quantum algorithms through guided modeling and simulation exercises. Each topic is developed computationally, allowing readers to build both intuition and technical proficiency by directly engaging with the computational mechanics of quantum systems. The approach taken here is computation first, meaning that understanding arises through the act of calculation, echoing David Mermin’s well-known slogan, “shut up and calculate.”

• Finally… a Wolfram U Course for Everyone on Partial Differential Equations!

  Today, I am happy to announce a free interactive course, Introduction to Partial Differential Equations, that will help students all over the world master this important subject. This course introduces partial differential equations (PDEs) from scratch and covers the most important types and their solution methods. It covers linear and nonlinear first-order PDEs; important cases […]

• Essentials of Complex Analysis: A Free, Interactive eTextbook from Wolfram Media

  Whether you’re a student in mathematics, engineering or scientific fields, you’re likely to encounter complex analysis—the study of complex numbers and complex functions. For mathematicians, complex analysis is a beautiful subject that provides powerful connections between apparently distant areas of mathematics. For physicists, complex numbers are part of the language of nature: in order to […]

• Two New Wolfram Book Series to Advance Computational Work

  Months of groundwork came to fruition for Wolfram Media in 2025 with two new series taking off in earnest. As we look back on the year, we wanted to take the chance to highlight what we’ve been up to over the past 12 months and let you know what’s coming next. You might even want […]

• Global 3D Depth-Magnitude Distribution of 2025 Earthquakes

  The majority of earthquakes around the world can be found along continental plate boundaries, either due to divergent plate boundaries where new oceanic crust is generated, or at convergent plate boundaries where collisions and subduction can occur. Earthquakes can also be caused by the motion of magma below the surface as it moves, melts, and […]

• Wolfram & Raspberry Pi 5: Neural Networks, Image Processing and Physics Simulations

  Discover how the Raspberry Pi 5 turns into a full STEM lab with free Mathematica. From real-time sensor dashboards to image processing, neural networks and stunning math art, this guide empowers students, teachers and parents to explore, invent and visualize science and engineering like never before.

• Quantum Interference Loss via Path Encoding and Recovery by Quantum Erasure

  If we regard interference and entanglement as the most distinctive features of the quantum world, then “which-way” experiments lie at the heart of quantum physics, vividly illustrating the contrast between classical and quantum conceptions of nature. The idea of “which-way” experiments can be traced back to Einstein’s famous proposal of a double-slit experiment with a […]

• Instant Supercompute: Launching Wolfram Compute Services

  Let’s say you’ve done a computation in Wolfram Language. And now you want to scale it up. Maybe 1000x or more. Well, today we’ve released an extremely streamlined way to do that. Just wrap the scaled up computation in RemoteBatchSubmit and off it’ll go to our new Wolfram Compute Services system. Then—in a minute, an hour, a day, or whatever—it’ll let you know it’s finished, and you can get its results.

• Using Interpretable Machine Learning to Extend Heterogeneous Antibody-Virus Datasets

  To quantify the immune response against a rapidly evolving virus, groups routinely measure antibody inhibition against many virus variants. Over time, the variants being studied change, and there is a need for methods that infer missing interactions and distinguish between confident predictions and hallucinations. Here, we develop a matrix completion framework that uses patterns in antibody-virus inhibition to infer the value and confidence of unmeasured interactions. This same approach can combine general datasets—from drug-cell interactions to user movie preferences—that have partially overlapping features.
