How quantum computing works & why it really matters

The innovations in quantum computing are promising to herald a new era of mind bending advances in areas like climate change, drug design, and finance, but what actually is a quantum computer, how are ...
Ripples spreading across a calm lake after raindrops fall—and the way ripples from different drops overlap and travel outward—is one image that helps us picture how a quantum computer handles ...
SEEQC today announced a significant breakthrough in the development of scalable, chip-based quantum computers, with results published in a peer-reviewed study in Nature Electronics. The publication ...
Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...
Quantum Computing is still in its infancy, more of an idea and research project than a functioning industry. The technology has incredible potential, from breaking encryption to drug discovery, but ...
An American physicist and Canadian computer scientist received the A.M. Turing Award on Wednesday for their groundbreaking ...
There are currently about 80 companies across the world manufacturing quantum computing hardware. Because I report on quantum computing, I have had a chance to watch it grow as an industry from up ...
A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.
