Microsoft announced Wednesday that it has invented an entirely new kind of quantum computer. Its new quantum chip, Majorana 1, is a quantum processor analogous to transistors in classical computers’ ...

Scientists from Australia and other countries have, for the first time, fully mapped how errors develop over time within a ...

Researchers unveiled a new technique that validates quantum computer results—especially those from GBS devices—in minutes instead of millennia. Their findings expose unexpected errors in a landmark ...

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

Over the past decade, quantum computing has grown into a billion-dollar industry. Everyone seems to be investing in it, from tech giants, such as IBM and Google, to the US military. But Ignacio Cirac ...

Measurements of the noise experienced by two neighboring quantum dots will aid the design of silicon quantum computers Figure 1: An artist’s impression of the quantum property known as spin. A RIKEN ...

Microsoft has unveiled a new chip which it said showed quantum computing is "years, not decades" away. Quantum computing holds the promise of carrying out calculations that would take today's systems ...

Quantum computing is shaping up to be among the most transformative technologies of our era. While still in their infancy, these powerful machines are expected to help us solve many problems by ...

Researchers have successfully developed a record cold refrigerator that could help quantum computers work better. Qubits, the fundamental units of quantum computers, must be kept at temperatures close ...
