Someday, somebody, somewhere will likely have a quantum computer capable of cracking the fragile codes that underpin every piece of data we exchange over the internet. We don’t know when. It could be ...

In 1947, when Bell Labs created the transistor, we could never have imagined this invention would underpin the microprocessor, the internet, and the digital world as we know it. The same potential for ...

Quantum computing is getting there. After years of slow but steady development to create a useful quantum computer that can outperform classical machines, we’re still squarely in the “noisy ...

Microsoft and Quantinuum today announced a major breakthrough in quantum error correction. Using Quantinuum’s ion-trap hardware and Microsoft’s new qubit ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Google said it has developed a computer algorithm that points the way to practical applications for quantum computing and will be able to generate unique data for use ...

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.

Quantum computing is still in its infancy, easily beaten by traditional computers. One of the biggest challenges? The fact that quantum bits — qubits — are much more fragile than the bits in silicon ...
