Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today's devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation is severely limited—that is, the ...

When performing calculations in a quantum computer qubits are required. Qubits are the units that enable the computer to ...

In 1981, American physicist and Nobel Laureate, Richard Feynman, gave a lecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) near Boston, in which he outlined a revolutionary idea. Feynman ...

The truth is that even the most optimistic vendor estimates for this would put very nascent stages of enterprise value toward ...

A tiny cooling device can automatically reset malfunctioning components of a quantum computer. Its performance suggests that manipulating heat could also enable other autonomous quantum devices.

With its ability to enhance predictive accuracy, quantum computing may significantly lower R&D costs in pharmaceuticals by reducing candidate failures.

A Canadian quantum computing start-up claims its new qubit will enable much smaller and cheaper error-free quantum computers. But getting there will be a steep challenge. To correct its own errors, a ...
