Performing complex algorithms on quantum computers will eventually require access to tens of thousands of hardware qubits. For most of the technologies being developed, this creates a problem: It’s ...

Explore the potential of quantum computing and the challenges ahead as researchers strive to overcome noise and errors.

Fusion energy has always had a tritium problem. The fuel that powers every leading reactor design barely exists on Earth in usable quantities, and the best candidate for breeding it inside a reactor — ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. Inside a ...

Together, they form Helios, a new quantum computer built by the British-American company Quantinuum. Quantum computers use ...

Cleveland Clinic researchers are unlocking quantum computing's full potential through the creation of a new computing ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

Like their conventional counterparts, quantum computers can also break down. They can sometimes lose the atoms they manipulate to function, which can stop calculations dead in their tracks. But ...

Quantum computers require extreme cooling to perform reliable calculations. One of the challenges preventing quantum computers from entering society is the difficulty of freezing the qubits to ...

Chinese researchers have developed a programmable quantum computing prototype that solved a complex mathematical problem faster than conventional supercomputers. The breakthrough manipulated thousands ...
