A team of physicists set out to test some of the most exciting claims in quantum computing—and found a very different story. Instead of confirming breakthroughs, their careful replication studies ...

Quantum computing is moving from physics labs into real hardware, promising to attack problems that overwhelm even the fastest supercomputers. Among the boldest claims is that these machines could ...

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 ...

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 ...

You might be familiar with the qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum information. As its name suggests, a qubit in a quantum computer performs the same function as a bit in a classical computer, with ...

Google published a paper on March 31 that states that Bitcoin's cryptography could be impacted by quantum computing sooner ...

Last week I summarized takeaways from my visit to SXSW earlier this month. As I mentioned in that article, the most hyped technology at the event was quantum computing. I found this to be quite ...

What once took up the entire space of IBM’s early computer lab now fits on a chip. The question is how and when will the ...

Quantum computing seems to pop up in the news pretty often these days. You’ve probably seen quantum chips gracing your feeds and their odd, steampunk-ish cooling systems in the pages of magazines and ...
