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 ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. Inside a ...

Cleveland Clinic researchers are unlocking quantum computing's full potential through the creation of a new computing paradigm inspired by the human brain. Fabio Cumbo, Ph.D., research associate in ...

For the past year, I kept bringing the same story to my editor: quantum computers are on the edge of becoming useful for scientific discovery. Of course, that has always been the goal. The idea of ...

A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware.

Quantum circuits are supposed to gain power as they grow longer, but noise changes the picture. A new study finds that earlier steps in these circuits gradually lose their impact, with only the final ...

This story is part of Quantum Crossroads, a series examining the impact of the quantum computing megadevelopment in South Chicago. The push to transform Chicago into a world leader in quantum ...

QKD offers a fundamentally different approach to securing communications, but cost, infrastructure and scalability challenges ...
