Quantum computing is one of those technologies where real-world applications always seem to lie just over the horizon. The next big thing is announced before quickly becoming a forgotten article from ...
To put the result in perspective: a person is more likely to be struck by lightning in a given year (1 in 1.2 million) than for one of Oxford's quantum logic gates to make a mistake. The findings, ...
Xanadu has officially revealed Aurora, a machine that’s being hailed as the first of its kind – a universal photonic quantum ...
When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy levels, atoms vibrate, and chemical bonds shift—all within millionths of a ...
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 ...
Chicago has quickly emerged as a hub for quantum computing, with the state of Illinois and technology companies pouring millions of dollars into developing a campus to build the world’s first ...
Quantum computers still can’t do much. Almost every time researchers have found something the high-tech machines should one day excel at, a classical algorithm comes along that can do it just as well ...
The world of quantum computing has barged into a new frontier: space. A tiny quantum computer housed in a satellite is now in orbit around Earth, ScienceNews reports, residing some 330 miles above our ...
QuamCore Ltd, a startup working to develop a quantum computer with one million qubits, today announced that it has raised $26 million in early-stage funding. Sentinel Global led the Series A round ...
The very first computer to make use of the bizarre and unintuitive properties of quantum mechanics was born out of a collaboration between major universities and International Business Machines (IBM 0 ...
D-Wave, IonQ, and Rigetti use different approaches to build quantum computers. All three companies are unprofitable but are generating sales from their quantum systems. The odds are stacked against ...
