Quantum computing promises to enable researchers to understand the basic structures of our world, rapidly develop new life-saving drugs, more accurately model weather patterns, improve logistical ...

Solids. Liquids. Gases. Since grade school, people have been told these classical states of matter define the universe.

Microsoft has announced a breakthrough that could lead to the most powerful quantum computers of all time ... traditional physical properties that define a solid, liquid or gas.

That’s because the arrival of quantum computing means that many of the encryption algorithms that underpin and secure our hyperconnected world will be trivially easy to crack. Quantum computing ...

The design of the Majorana 1 processor is supposed to fit up to a million qubits, which may be enough to realise many significant goals of quantum computing – such as cracking cryptographic ...

Google’s progress on the Willow chip in December also supported this optimism, a moment that could well define the start of the quantum computing era. We compiled a list of quantum computing ...
