A vital ingredient for making quantum computers truly useful just might be conventional computers. That was the message from a gathering of researchers this month, which explained that classical ...

Quantum computers have long promised to surpass their classical counterparts, but concretely demonstrating this advantage remains a major challenge. A team of researchers has just taken a significant ...

Quantum computers just beat classical ones — Exponentially and unconditionally Conducted on IBM quantum processors, study demonstrates “a promise of quantum computing previously articulated only on ...

Paradoxically, reports of powerful quantum computations are motivating improvements to classical ones, making it harder for quantum machines to gain an advantage. “Most of the time when people talk ...

The promise of quantum computers appears to be that they will upend modern computing as we know it. With exceptional computational power, they’ll be performing feats unimaginable for any classical ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Rapid advances in the kind of problems that quantum computers can tackle suggest that they are closer than ever to becoming ...

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.

For quantum computers to change the game of computation, scientists need to show that the machines’ calculations are correct. Now, there’s hope. Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved verifiable ...

An Irish startup has created the world's first silicon-based quantum computer — it can still integrate seamlessly with classical computing in data centers. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Using a powerful machine made up of 56 trapped-ion quantum bits, or qubits, researchers have achieved something once thought impossible. They have proven, for the first time, that a quantum computer ...
