For years, quantum computers have been framed as the ultimate problem solvers, machines that would eventually crack any task that classical hardware could not touch. Now a new line of research is ...

As quantum computing develops, scientists are working to identify tasks for which quantum computers have a clear advantage over classical computers. So far, researchers have only pinpointed a handful ...

Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

From a business point of view, they’ll also make it possible to accelerate and innovate in many fields impacted by the speed of calculations, including delivery and logistics, anything involving ...

Here, the team led by Lidar used an algorithm they modified for the quantum computer to solve a variation of "Simon's problem," an early example of quantum algorithms that can, in theory, solve a task ...

Rice quantum computing researchers have introduced a novel algorithm that earned the team a place in the global XPRIZE Quantum Applications competition.
