Scientists have discovered the cause of a persistent glitch that continues to disrupt superconducting quantum computers, even ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that ...

Last week I summarized takeaways from my visit to SXSW earlier this month. As I mentioned in that article, the most hyped technology at the event was quantum computing. I found this to be quite ...

What if the impossible became routine? Imagine solving a problem so complex it would take a classical computer 20 million years to crack, now imagine doing it in just 15 minutes. That’s exactly what ...

Repulsive gravity at the quantum scale would have flattened out inhomogeneities in the early universe First light The cosmic microwave background, as imaged by the European Space Agency’s Planck ...

Quantum technology might sound like something out of science fiction, but it's quietly stepping into the real world — and it's doing things traditional computers simply can't. If you're wondering what ...

The latest "Google Doodle" to adorn the Google search engine home page is celebrating achievements in quantum physics - and aiming to spread interest in the field. Google's Doodle webpage explains ...
