Quantum physics has a reputation for needing exotic hardware, from liquid-helium-cooled qubits to sprawling AI clusters, just to crunch through basic simulations. Now a new “physics shortcut” is ...

Rapid advances in the kind of problems that quantum computers can tackle suggest that they are closer than ever to becoming ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

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 ...

It feels like every week there’s some new development in quantum computing, right? But this past week was something else entirely. We saw some seriously big leaps, not just small steps. Think of it ...

Quantum computers represent a breakthrough comparable to the move from valves to transistors in computer engineering. It doesn't just mean processing data faster; it means processing data in ways that ...

For over a decade, researchers have considered boson sampling—a quantum computing protocol involving light particles—as a key milestone toward demonstrating the advantages of quantum methods over ...

Infleqtion expects to go public in late 2025 or early 2026. Its products are in use by Nvidia, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), NASA, and the U.K. government. Thanks to its revenue stream from ...
