THE year 2026 will not be defined by incremental upgrades. It will be a pivotal year of technological convergence, where the collision of next-generation computing, hyper-automation, and an ...

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

Physicist Jay Gambetta, at IBM’s lab in Yorktown Heights, New York, explains how microwaves orchestrate a solution on a quantum chip: “Think of each qubit as a line in music. You’re creating notes.” ...

Quantum computing has become one of the hottest topics lately, thanks to Google saying that a sufficiently powerful machine could exploit legacy blockchains with less firepower than initially ...

Years before emails, internet banking, cloud servers and cryptocurrency wallets, two scientists devised a way to keep secrets perfectly safe and indecipherable to eavesdropping outsiders. Their 1984 ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

Software firm Horizon Quantum claimed it is the first private company to deploy a commercial quantum computer in Singapore. The deployment also makes it the first quantum software company to deploy ...

A major obstacle in the development of powerful quantum computers is the growing number of cables required to control a computer as the number of qubits increases. Researchers at Chalmers University ...

What is it about quantum computers that makes them more powerful than conventional machines? A new experiment shows that the property of “quantum contextuality” may be a key ingredient. Quantum ...

Rice University quantum computing researchers have introduced a novel algorithm with the potential to speed up quantum computing. This algorithm landed the team in the finals for the XPRIZE Quantum ...
