Quantum computing promises a new generation of computers capable of solving problems hundreds of millions of times more quickly than today’s fastest supercomputers. This is done by harnessing spooky ...

Quantum computing is slowly entering the mainstream, as more people discuss the technology and its potential within ...

Scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have found a way to use light to control and read tiny quantum states inside atom-thin materials. The simple technique could pave the way for ...

A research team has created a quantum logic gate that uses fewer qubits by encoding them with the powerful GKP error-correction code. By entangling quantum vibrations inside a single atom, they ...

To build a large-scale quantum computer that works, scientists and engineers need to overcome the spontaneous errors that quantum bits, or qubits, create as they operate. Scientists encode these ...

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

Cracking quantum computing isn’t a matter of upgrading existing computers. It’s an entirely separate approach to computing that relies on the principles of quantum physics. “A fighter jet is not a ...

Lead author and PhD student Vassili Matsos looking at the Paul trap quantum computing device in the Quantum Control Laboratory at the University of Sydney. To build a large-scale quantum computer that ...
