After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all.

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is.

One of the biggest promises of quantum computing is the ability to simulate molecules ...

Although the potential applications of quantum computing are widespread, a new feasibility study suggests quantum computers ...

This, in turn, altered the configuration of the orbitals to achieve the half-Möbius configuration that the researchers were ...

A Google-led research team has demonstrated a surface-code logical qubit operating below the error-correction threshold, showing that logical errors can fall rapidly as the code scales up. The ...

The new architecture shows how quantum processors could work alongside classical HPC, creating hybrid environments to tackle ...

Quantum computers could solve certain problems that would take traditional classical computers an impractically long time to solve. At the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), ...

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.

Google claims to have developed a quantum computer algorithm that is 13,000 times faster than the most powerful supercomputers. This would bring the technology another step closer to real-world ...
