The innovations in quantum computing are promising to herald a new era of mind bending advances in areas like climate change, drug design, and finance, but what actually is a quantum computer, how are ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

There are currently about 80 companies across the world manufacturing quantum computing hardware. Because I report on quantum computing, I have had a chance to watch it grow as an industry from up ...

Quantum computers are both the most promising and the most confusing segment of innovation in computing. On one hand, quantum computers promise to perform calculations that would otherwise be utterly ...

Quantum computing has long promised to revolutionize everything from drug discovery to climate modeling--but until now, even the most advanced quantum machines could only run one program at a time.

Researchers from the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Science and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are prioritizing collaboration over competition to advance quantum computer development ...

Researchers from Google Quantum AI report that their quantum processor, Willow, ran an algorithm for a quantum computer that solved a complex physics problem thousands of times faster than the world's ...
