Suppose you’re a CIO or senior application planner, and you need to understand whether you should dig into quantum computing ...

Researchers have created a quantum superposition state in a semiconductor nanostructure that might serve as a basis for quantum computing. The trick: two optical laser pulses that act as a single ...

A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the ...

A quantum bit inspired by Schrödinger’s cat has managed to resist making errors for an unusually long time in a quantum computing experiment. This may make it a promising building block for more ...

In the early 2020s, quantum computing hit the public spotlight as a potential threat to Bitcoin. Relying on SHA-256 cryptographic hash function for its proof-of-work network consensus, Bitcoin’s value ...

Quantum computers should be powerful enough to crack Bitcoin’s security features—by instantly solving the mining mechanism or guessing wallet passwords by brute force—a few years after 2030, according ...
