A new type of machine could rival quantum computers in exceeding the power of classical computers, researchers say. Quantum computers rely on the bizarre properties of atoms and the other construction ...

The 8-cm-long silica-on-silicon photonic chip in the centre of the picture served as the four-photon boson sampling machine developed by Ian Walmsley and colleagues at Oxford University. For ...

In their simulated system, image data is first simplified using a process called principal component analysis (PCA), which reduces the amount of information while preserving key features. A complex ...

Atoms in an optical lattice perform a "quantum walk" where they experience many different quantum phenomena, such as superposition or tunneling as they move around the lattice. Credit: Alex Downham, ...

A new type of quantum computing called boson sampling is capable of calculations that no classical computer could accomplish in any reasonable amount of time. This is the second time this feat, known ...

In what has been hailed as a computing milestone, a team of researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China has achieved quantum supremacy thanks to a device that can manipulate ...
