In the pursuit of powerful and stable quantum computers, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed the theory for an entirely new quantum system – based on the ...

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all. I’m standing in front ...

It remains an open question when a commercial quantum computer will emerge that can outperform classical (non-quantum) machines in speed and energy efficiency while solving real-world combinatorial ...

When a commercial quantum computer will surpass classical machines for real-world optimization is unknown, but probabilistic p-computers with p-bits offer a practical interim path. (Nanowerk News) It ...

Paris-based quantum computing startup Alice & Bob has announced a stunning breakthrough in quantum computing: its qubits can now resist bit-flip errors for more than an hour. That’s four times longer ...

Quantum computing promises to disrupt entire industries because it leverages the rules of quantum physics to perform calculations in fundamentally new ways. Unlike traditional computers that process ...

Scientists have achieved a world first by loading a complete genome onto a quantum computer – a major step towards using quantum computing to tackle some of biology’s most complex bioinformatic ...

Large quantum computers may be able to solve problems impossible for even the best traditional supercomputers – but in order to do so, some of them might need far more energy than those supercomputers ...

Quantum computers are already here, but they make far too many errors. This is arguably the biggest obstacle to the technology really becoming useful, but recent breakthroughs suggest a solution may ...

Quantum computers promise to revolutionize our ability to solve problems thanks to their unique properties. However, a team of researchers has just discovered a computable task that appears impossible ...
