Boson sampling can simulate physical problems for which classical simulations are inefficient. However, not all problems simulated by boson sampling are classically intractable. We show explicit ...

Central in drug design is the identification of biomolecules that uniquely and robustly bind to a target protein, while minimizing their interactions with others. Accordingly, precise binding affinity ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

Scientists from quantum computing company D-Wave have demonstrated that, using a method called quantum annealing, they could simulate some materials up to three million times faster than it would take ...

Defining security in quantum key distribution with Carla Ferradini, Martin Sandfuchs, and Renato Renner The security of quantum key distribution (QKD) is quantified by a parameter ε >0, which—under ...

Quantum computing, once hailed as a new advancement, has encountered significant challenges that have tempered early optimism. Sabine Hossenfelder explores the ...
