Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

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 ...

Performing complex algorithms on quantum computers will eventually require access to tens of thousands of hardware qubits. For most of the technologies being developed, this creates a problem: It’s ...

What is the Q-Day prize? The Q-Day Prize is a challenge to make the Bitcoin network quantum resistant. On April 16, 2025, quantum computing-focused company Project 11 announced the “Q-Day Prize,” a ...

The reliable engineering of quantum states, particularly those involving several particles, is central to the development of various quantum technologies, including quantum computers, sensors and ...

Quantum computers have become the latest canvas for humanity’s oldest fantasy: escaping death. Startups, futurists, and speculative essays now suggest that machines built to manipulate qubits could ...

One hundred years ago, physicists including Max Born, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and Erwin Schrödinger theorized the foundations of quantum mechanics, unlocking atomic and subatomic secrets, ...

The Bitcoin network took its first step towards quantum-computing resistance with the addition of BIP 360 to its repository.
