Quantum computer research is advancing at a rapid pace. Today's devices, however, still have significant limitations: For example, the length of a quantum computation is severely limited—that is, the ...

For the first time, a quantum computer has improved its results by repeatedly fixing its own mistakes midcalculation with a technique called quantum error correction ...

Photo (Paderborn University, Martin Ratz): A glimpse of the experimental setup focussing on the area where the squeezed light generation takes place. The photo shows a small number of the optical ...

The powerful software can reduce the time needed to simulate reactions with large molecules from weeks to just minutes.

For decades, the solution to harder problems has been ‘build a bigger computer’— but ...

A tiny cooling device can automatically reset malfunctioning components of a quantum computer. Its performance suggests that manipulating heat could also enable other autonomous quantum devices.

Google unveiled an experimental machine capable of tasks that a traditional supercomputer could not master in 10 septillion years. (That’s older than the universe.) Google’s quantum computing cooling ...

Quantum computers have the ability to perform complex calculations at unprecedented speeds. Thus, they will transform areas such as data encryption, network optimization, and artificial intelligence ...

The truth is that even the most optimistic vendor estimates for this would put very nascent stages of enterprise value toward ...
