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 ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

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.

Gov. Wes Moore (D), who calls quantum computing a “lighthouse industry” for Maryland, has secured more than $1 billion in ...

For quantum computers to change the game of computation, scientists need to show that the machines’ calculations are correct. Now, there’s hope. Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved verifiable ...

Mikel Díez, Director of Quantum Computing at IBM Spain, explains how the new quantum systems will work alongside classical ones to offer new possibilities for problem-solving. The Basque city of San ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Tim Bajarin covers the tech industry’s impact on PC and CE markets. Two years ago, I spent about six months in deep discussions ...

The year isn't over yet, but we've already seen record-breaking quantum computers, skyrocketing levels of investment, and demonstrations of real-world benefits. In all the hype about AI it can be easy ...

Quantum computers hit a crucial milestone for error-free calculation The new record holder is a quantum computer called Jiuzhang 4.0 that makes calculations using particles of light, or photons.
