While quantum computers are already being used for research in chemistry, material science, and data security, most are still ...

Like LEGO for the quantum age, researchers have created modular superconducting qubits that can be linked with high fidelity.

According to Shalby, the most widely used error correction technique is called the surface code, and a “surface code chip” is a quantum processor designed around this method. He said such chips can ...

Quantum computers—theoretical machines which can process certain large and difficult problems exponentially faster than classical computers—have been a mainstay of science fiction for decades ...

In order to build one you have to overcome environmental factors such as keeping them extremely cold and figuring out how to keep qubits – the quantum version of a computer bit – from becoming ...

The Department of Energy is investing $5 million into a Virginia Tech-led program that is leveraging an adaptive approach to build quantum computers that can achieve quantum utility.

This means that using classical computers to help in the design of new quantum computers is likely to hit fundamental limits pretty quickly. Using a quantum computer, however, sidesteps the problem ...

Experimental device harnesses quantum properties for efficient processing at room temperature. Engineers are working to ...

There are currently several ways to build a quantum computer. But let’s start by describing one of the leading designs to help explain how it works.

As exciting as it may be to hear about a breakthrough 127-qubit quantum computer or promises of 1,000 qubits by 2023, the reality is that quantum computing is still not a mainstream computing ...

Scientists can genetically engineer proteins to act like the qubits used in quantum computing to track any abnormalities in ...
