Like their conventional counterparts, quantum computers can also break down. They can sometimes lose the atoms they manipulate to function, which can stop calculations dead in their tracks. But ...

Google researchers have made a fresh claim of quantum advantage — the ability of quantum computers to radically speed up calculations compared with their classical counterparts. This is not the ...

Researchers from the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Science and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are prioritizing collaboration over competition to advance quantum computer development ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

Quantinuum has unveiled a third-generation quantum computer that could be easier to scale up than rival approaches. The US- and UK-based company Quantinuum today ...

John Martinis is a hardware guy. He prefers the nitty-gritty of doing physics in the lab over the idealised world of textbooks. But you couldn’t write the quantum computing history books without him: ...

Physicist Jay Gambetta, at IBM’s lab in Yorktown Heights, New York, explains how microwaves orchestrate a solution on a quantum chip: “Think of each qubit as a line in music. You’re creating notes.” ...

The latest trends in software development from the Computer Weekly Application Developer Network. Sometimes classed as a Japanese startup, OptQC works with optical photonic technologies to develop a ...
