Quantum computers are coming. And when they arrive, they are going to upend the way we protect sensitive data. Unlike classical computers, quantum computers harness quantum mechanical effects — like ...

For years, quantum computers have been framed as the ultimate problem solvers, machines that would eventually crack any task that classical hardware could not touch. Now a new line of research is ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm is reshaping how scientists approach some of the most complex materials known, enabling ...

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 ...

Physicist Peter P. Orth (left) and computer scientist Markus Bläser are collaborating on the QIAPO project with industry partners Infineon and BMW, as well as the quantum startup planqc, to explore ...

Light moving through a tiny silicon structure does not look dramatic. It slips down narrow waveguides etched onto a chip, guided by geometry too small to see with the naked eye. Yet in those channels, ...
