In the previous article titled “The Basics: How Quantum Computers Work and Where the Technology is Heading,” we provided an overview of foundational quantum computing concepts, including qubits ...

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 ...

Quantum technology has reached a turning point, echoing the early days of modern computing. Researchers say functional ...

John Martinis has already revolutionised quantum computing twice. Now, he is working on another radical rethink of the ...

Quantum computing has great potential , but its main unit, the qubit, is beset by inherent stability problems. However, this ...

A team of researchers has found one of the missing pieces of the hardware puzzle that allows quantum computers to function at ...

IBM says quantum computing will be built on top of existing architecture, such as classical GPUs.

After decades spent gestating in labs, quantum computing has finally reached an inflection point between theoretical promise and practical implementation. From discoveries in pharmaceutical and ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

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 ...

While quantum computers are already being used for research in chemistry, material science, and data security, most are still too small to be useful for large-scale applications. A study led by ...

Quantum technology can process an enormous amount of data and solve complex problems in seconds rather than decades. Remarkably, quantum technology first appeared in the early 1900s. It originated ...
