Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform classical systems on certain tasks. Over the past few decades, researchers ...

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

A method for making quantum computers less error-prone could let them run complex programs such as simulations of materials more efficiently, thus making them more useful ...

Imagine trying to design a key for a lock that is constantly changing its shape. That is the exact challenge we face in ...

A new ultra-fast monitoring system reveals that quantum computer qubits can change from stable to unstable in mere milliseconds.

TL;DR: Peter Chapman, the former executive chair and chairman of the board of IonQ, believes the world is less than three years away from a major breakthrough. In his view, people will wake up one ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing offer tantalizing addressable markets that can lead to a long list of winners. Billionaire money managers have been paring down their stake in the ...
