In a milestone that brings quantum computing tangibly closer to large-scale practical use, scientists have demonstrated the first instance of distributed quantum computing. Using a photonic network ...

Although quantum computing is a nascent field, there are plenty of key moments that defined it over the last few decades as scientists strive to create machines that can solve impossible problems.

Scientists in the U.K. have successfully connected two separate quantum processors, paving the way for a quantum internet and, potentially, quantum supercomputers. Increasing the number of quantum ...

Languages evolve over time. New words are added to our collective lexicon — some of which are just corruptions of existing words –- and old words sometimes receive new definitions. Often, these words ...
