For quantum computers to outperform their classical counterparts, they need more quantum bits, or qubits. State-of-the-art ...

In a new paper in Nature, a team of researchers from JPMorganChase, Quantinuum, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and The University of Texas at Austin describe a milestone in ...

A team including Scott Aaronson demonstrated what may be the first practical application of quantum computers to a real world problem. Using a 56-qubit quantum computer, researchers have for the first ...

Researchers and tech companies are in a global race to develop quantum computers that can solve hard scientific problems that conventional computers can’t, and that they hope can eventually support ...

While the concept of quantum computing has been discussed for more than 40 years, only recently have experiments indicated that a practical quantum computer may be possible. Recent developments in ...

Today’s quantum computers are fundamentally impractical. But with a more resilient qubit, scientists believe they can unlock the technology’s extraordinary potential. Soon, they hope to prove it.

Computer scientist Peter Gutmann tells The Reg why it's 'bollocks' The US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has been pushing for the development of post-quantum cryptographic ...

Quantum computers could rapidly solve complex problems that would take the most powerful classical supercomputers decades to ...
