Just a few years ago, many researchers in quantum computing thought it would take several decades to develop machines that could solve complex tasks, such as predicting how chemicals react or cracking ...

Scientists have finally figured out how to read ultra-secure Majorana qubits—bringing robust quantum computing a big step closer. “This is a crucial advance,” says Ramón Aguado, a CSIC researcher at ...

Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today's devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation is severely limited—that is, the ...

Quantum computing is moving from physics labs into real hardware, promising to attack problems that overwhelm even the fastest supercomputers. Among the boldest claims is that these machines could ...

Understanding quantum computing, from qubits science and tech breakthroughs to future quantum applications, and discovering how close we are to real-world use cases Pixabay, geralt Quantum computing ...

Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet—or understand why. Triplet superconductors could be the key to achieving ...

For decades, quantum computing has been heralded as a technology of the future, promising to solve problems far beyond the reach of supercomputers. But its practical use has remained elusive. That’s ...

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.

Quantum computing is one of those technologies where real-world applications always seem to lie just over the horizon. The next big thing is announced before quickly becoming a forgotten article from ...

Jacob Benestad in front of an experimental setup in the laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. This setup is similar to the one used during the group's experiments at the ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is looking for companies to build the hardware and software quantum computers need to communicate and work together. Most quantum computers are standalone ...
