For years, quantum computers have been framed as the ultimate problem solvers, machines that would eventually crack any task that classical hardware could not touch. Now a new line of research is ...

In 1947, when Bell Labs created the transistor, we could never have imagined this invention would underpin the microprocessor, the internet, and the digital world as we know it. The same potential for ...

D-Wave Systems, a quantum computing company, has announced a breakthrough in quantum computing, claiming “quantum annealers can answer questions of practical importance that may remain out of reach ...

Researchers from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tokyo University of Science in Japan have developed what “a novel approach” to combinatorial optimisation problems (COPs). COPs are ...

Murray Thom, vice president for quantum technology evangelism for D-Wave, knows that his company for more than two decades has played a key role in a somewhat unusual industry. “One of the things ...
