IBM and an international team of researchers have used a quantum computer to accurately simulate the electronic structure of ...

Quantum processors operate in environments engineered to eliminate nearly all external interference. That just might make them perfect dark matter detectors.

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are practically impossible to solve. Quantum computers threaten to flip that ...

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 ...

Quantum computers are developing more quickly than expected – and so is the threat to our current computer security ...

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 are powerful, lightning-fast and notoriously difficult to connect to one another over long distances. Previously, the maximum distance two quantum computers could connect through a ...

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly ...
