In the previous article titled “The Basics: How Quantum Computers Work and Where the Technology is Heading,” we provided an overview of foundational quantum computing concepts, including qubits ...

Amid some scepticism, many say the machines can now achieve results beyond the capability of traditional computers ...

This means that the production applications of quantum computers will ironically include only very few, albeit extremely powerful, quantum steps. The stage of “quantum-readiness”, wherein companies ...

While quantum computers are already being used for research in chemistry, material science, and data security, most are still too small to be useful for large-scale applications. A study led by ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

What if the most complex problems plaguing industries today—curing diseases, optimizing global supply chains, or even securing digital communication—could be solved in a fraction of the time it takes ...

A small, counterintuitive tweak to advanced materials can improve how quantum computers hand off information inside their systems, making them more efficient, reliable and scalable. To visualize a ...

Quantum technology can process an enormous amount of data and solve complex problems in seconds rather than decades. Remarkably, quantum technology first appeared in the early 1900s. It originated ...

You might think that creating a highly accurate model of the way air passes through a jet engine would be relatively easy. It is incredibly hard. The enormous number of variables means that it is, in ...

Quantum computers are powerful, lightning-fast and notoriously difficult to connect to one another over long distances. Previously, the maximum distance two quantum computers could connect through a ...

Quantum computing promises extraordinary power, but that same power may expose new security weaknesses. Quantum computers are expected to deliver dramatic gains in processing speed and capability, ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...
