Quantum computing has long felt like a perpetual promise — a mysteriously powerful technology that’s always “about 10 years away.” If you tuned it out, you weren’t alone. But something has shifted ...
The world's first portable, room-temperature quantum computer with more than 10 qubits utilizes flawed lab-made diamonds. The quantum system fits into a standard server rack and connects to a typical ...
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 ...
Quantum computers have the potential to transform science, accelerating breakthroughs in drug development, cosmology, materials science, nuclear physics, and more. To make this future a reality, ...
The hardest idea in quantum mechanics to hold in a non-physicist’s head is that a thing can be in two states at once. Not ...
Quantum computers still face limits when it comes to storing information. Researchers at ETH Zurich are now turning to mechanical vibrations rather than electromagnetic memory. Their new vibrating ...
Do we need quantum computers to fully understand complex chemical reactions? A new result, decades in the making, shows the surprising power of ordinary “classical” machines. What Garnet Chan cares ...
