Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Quantum computing could change the world. It could transform medicine, break encryption and revolutionise communications and artificial intelligence. Companies like IBM, Microsoft and Google are ...

For would-be quantum programmers scratching their heads over how to jump into the game as quantum computers proliferate and become publicly accessible, a new beginner's guide provides a thorough ...

When you first stumble across the term “quantum computer,” you might pass it off as some far-flung science fiction concept rather than a serious current news item. But with the phrase being thrown ...

Quantum computing leverages qubits' unique properties to revolutionize computing power, driving transformative impacts across industries and shaping the future of technology. Pixabay, geralt Quantum ...

Quantum computing is moving from physics labs into real hardware, promising to attack problems that overwhelm even the fastest supercomputers. Among the boldest claims is that these machines could ...

A team of quantum theorists seeking to cure a basic problem with quantum annealing computers -- they have to run at a relatively slow pace to operate properly -- found something intriguing instead. A ...

We might not realize it, but many of us are probably at least vaguely familiar with some of the broad concepts within the (very) micro world of quantum mechanics—the idea that an electron can be in ...

The story so far: In two papers published in Nature on October 22, researchers from Google, MIT, Stanford, and Caltech reported what they called a verifiable display of quantum advantage using the ...
