A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the fundamental "no cloning" problem. The research, "Encrypted Qubits can be ...

Quantum computing’s edge looked closer after a hard physics problem seemed beyond classical machines. But a new result shows compressed math and smarter algorithms can match or beat that benchmark, ...

In the pursuit of powerful and stable quantum computers, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed the theory for an entirely new quantum system – based on the ...

It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true. Quantum bits, or qubits, use ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the quest to develop these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. The 21st-century fervor ...

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during a panel at CES in January expressed his view as to when quantum computing might become a practical reality: “If you said 15 years for very useful quantum computers, that ...

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all. I’m standing in front ...
