The gap between conventional and quantum computers is closing when it comes to simulating scrambling of quantum information Figure 1: A close-up of the trapped-ion ...

A public-private partnership in the Mountain West announced new results today that mark steady progress toward the Department ...

Microsoft has just announced a chip that it claims will "redefine" how quantum computing works. The company claims its "topological superconductor" could see a useful quantum computer in "years, not ...

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is a cornerstone of the standard model of particle physics. A decade-long effort to simulate QED on a two-dimensional lattice has now succeeded — through the use of a ...

There are currently about 80 companies across the world manufacturing quantum computing hardware. Because I report on quantum computing, I have had a chance to watch it grow as an industry from up ...

Researchers demonstrated extremely strong nonlinear light-matter coupling in a quantum circuit. Stronger coupling enables faster quantum readout and operations, ultimately improving the accuracy of ...

Put lots of qubits together and you have quantum computing, requiring datacentres that can support it. A quantum datacentre though is not just about having a building with a quantum computer in it.

The announcement follows a Trump administration decision last week to take $2 ‌billion in ⁠equity stakes ⁠in nine quantum computing companies, with IBM set to receive half of the funding for a new ...

New research from Google's Quantum AI team suggests a future quantum computer could derive a bitcoin private key from a public key in about nine minutes, potentially allowing attackers to hijack ...

In 1981, American physicist and Nobel Laureate, Richard Feynman, gave a lecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) near Boston, in which he outlined a revolutionary idea. Feynman ...
