Claims of leaps in quantum computing are made almost daily, but progress is hard to judge when each research group uses its own mixture of hardware, algorithms and evaluation metrics, making it near ...

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 ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

Researchers from the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Science and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are prioritizing collaboration over competition to advance quantum computer development ...

The Willow processor runs the first verifiable algorithm with real-world applications, marking a shift from theory to practical quantum computing. Google Quantum AI has demonstrated what it describes ...

Quantinuum has unveiled a third-generation quantum computer that could be easier to scale up than rival approaches. The US- and UK-based company Quantinuum today ...

Physicist Jay Gambetta, at IBM’s lab in Yorktown Heights, New York, explains how microwaves orchestrate a solution on a quantum chip: “Think of each qubit as a line in music. You’re creating notes.” ...

Last year Universal Quantum, the quantum computing firm spun out of Sussex University, announced it was collaborating with the Open Quantum Institute (OQI) on using quantum computing in drug discovery ...

John Martinis is a hardware guy. He prefers the nitty-gritty of doing physics in the lab over the idealised world of textbooks. But you couldn’t write the quantum computing history books without him: ...
