Quantum computing takes a radically different approach to programming. IBM’s education head discusses how to get started.

A quantum computer for the people isn’t just a theoretical dream; IBM is trying to make it a reality. IBM has built a quantum processor with five qubits, or quantum bits. Even better, IBM isn ...

Big Blue opens its five-qubit quantum computer to the public via a Web platform, signaling that the technology is mature and stable enough for anyone to use.

IBM is opening its quantum computer to anyone who wants to play with it -- provided you've got some serious programming chops and a problem to solve, anyway.

For would-be quantum programmers scratching their heads over how to jump into the game as quantum computers proliferate and become publicly accessible, a new beginner’s guide provides a thorough ...

The powerhouse computers can be sensitive and error-prone. Now, IBM is offering some details on how it will overcome those problems and build a first-of-its-kind quantum computer.

IBM has plans to build the world's biggest quantum computer, but in order to do that, it first has to build an enormous, subzero freezer to put it in.

Quantum computing is computing at its most esoteric. But by sharing its prototype with the world at large, IBM hopes to change that.

As IBM emphasizes, its quantum computer is a universal quantum computer—which D-Wave's is not. Another big difference: IBM can address and measure the state of each qubit individually.
