John Martinis has already revolutionised quantum computing twice. Now, he is working on another radical rethink of the technology that could deliver machines with unrivalled capabilities ...

Physicist Jay Gambetta, at IBM’s lab in Yorktown Heights, New York, explains how microwaves orchestrate a solution on a quantum chip: “Think of each qubit as a line in music. You’re creating notes.” ...

In the age of AI, computers with far greater computational powers are the need of the hour. Thus, rapid innovation has led to the advent of quantum computers, which follow the principles of quantum ...

The modular superconducting system lets universities move beyond simulators and cloud access, giving students hands-on experience with building, operating, and experimenting on a physical quantum ...

The components business for quantum computers is expected to grow into a huge industry. IBM established a test facility at the University of Tokyo aimed at benefiting from Japan’s competitive ...

Scientists have taken another major step toward creating stable quantum computers. Using a specialized quantum computer chip (an essential component of a quantum computer) as a kind of tiny laboratory ...

It could take a supercomputer 149 million years to decrypt data that has been encrypted with the RSA-2048 public-key ...

Silicon Valley technology titans IBM Corp. and Cisco Systems Inc. are looking beyond artificial intelligence to the next big thing: quantum computing. Today they announced plans to collaborate on a ...

Quantum computing has long lived in the realm of lab demos and bold PowerPoint slides, but two of the industry’s biggest players now say the first truly useful machines are less than five years away.

A research team from Tsinghua University has announced that it has developed the world's smallest quantum computer, which uses only a single photon. It is the size of a desktop PC and can operate at ...
