A familiar thought experiment about a hidden cat has helped scientists take a meaningful step toward building reliable ...

Today’s quantum computing hardware is severely limited in what it can do by errors that are difficult to avoid. There can be problems with everything from setting the initial state of a qubit to ...

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 ...

Two quantum information theorists have solved a decades-old problem that will free up quantum computing power. University of Sydney quantum researchers Dominic Williamson and Nouédyn Baspin have ...

Nvidia and Infleqtion have announced new breakthrough. Infleqtion, a world leader in neutral atom quantum computing, used the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform to first simulate, and then orchestrate the ...

Quantum computers hold great promise for exciting applications in the future, but for now they keep presenting physicists and engineers with a series of challenges and conundrums. One of them relates ...

Quantum computing news usually picks up near the end of the year, as companies try to provide evidence that they are hitting ...

Microsoft and Quantinuum say they’ve demonstrated a quantum computing system that can reduce the error rate for data processing by a factor of 800. “Today ...

Quantum is smart. The progression toward embryonic quantum computing services represents a shift (you know what kind) in terms of the amount of intelligence we can apply to computing, data analytics ...
