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 ...

The Doodle's design was described as a "physics lesson" by one quantum science website. Here's what to know.

On Monday, June 23, 2025 a rocket launched from Vandenberg, California. Nothing unusual about that, you might think. And in many ways, you’d be right. This was an ordinary rocket launch – something ...

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.” ...

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...

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 unveiled Helios, its third-generation ...

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 ...

Software firm Horizon Quantum claimed it is the first private company to deploy a commercial quantum computer in Singapore. The deployment also makes it the first quantum software company to deploy ...

Years before emails, internet banking, cloud servers and cryptocurrency wallets, two scientists devised a way to keep secrets perfectly safe and indecipherable to eavesdropping outsiders. Their 1984 ...

A quantum computer capable of breaking the encryption that secures the internet now seems to be just around the corner. Stunning revelations from two research teams outline how it could happen, with ...
