Magnetic materials are used to make MRI machines, hard drives, wireless chargers, and phone speakers. It takes a lot of expensive research and development to create new materials. “And there’s no ...

A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the ...

Just like any machine, quantum computers are prone to make errors. These errors can cause the qubits to lose their quantum states, leading to inaccurate computations. To address this problem, quantum ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

A team of quantum computer researchers at quantum computer maker D-Wave, working with an international team of physicists and engineers, is claiming that its latest quantum processor has been used to ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

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 ...

On its face, quantum computing sounds like a made-up concept, straight out of a sci-fi flick. But far from just a futuristic buzzword, the emerging tech has the potential to upend the way commercial ...

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 ...
