In the quest to move quantum computing into practical use, researchers have developed a new understanding of qubit lifespans.

A team of physicists set out to test some of the most exciting claims in quantum computing—and found a very different story. Instead of confirming breakthroughs, their careful replication studies ...

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 ...

You might think that creating a highly accurate model of the way air passes through a jet engine would be relatively easy. It is incredibly hard. The enormous number of variables means that it is, in ...

Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers, but two new analyses suggest a capable enough ...

What if the most complex problems plaguing industries today—curing diseases, optimizing global supply chains, or even securing digital communication—could be solved in a fraction of the time it takes ...

Last week I summarized takeaways from my visit to SXSW earlier this month. As I mentioned in that article, the most hyped technology at the event was quantum computing. I found this to be quite ...

Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new ...
