Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...

Ramanujan's pi-computing machinery exactly mirrors the necessary structure in modern physical theories (LCFTs).

A recent investigation uncovers Srinivasa Ramanujan’s pi equations as central not only to advanced computing but also as mathematical patterns emerging in high-energy physics, deepening scientific ...

Stockholm — John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for research on seemingly obscure quantum tunneling that is advancing digital technology.

I had planned for part 2 of this series about π to be about the classical area formula for the circle, but then something new came up. Well, by new I mean a new proof of something old, and it's a ...
