A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...

In the previous article titled “The Basics: How Quantum Computers Work and Where the Technology is Heading,” we provided an overview of foundational quantum computing concepts, including qubits ...

DAE teaches high school students about innovative technology.

You might be familiar with the qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum information. As its name suggests, a qubit in a quantum computer performs the same function as a bit in a classical computer, with ...

Quantum computing has great potential , but its main unit, the qubit, is beset by inherent stability problems. However, this new study might change that.

IBM says quantum computing will be built on top of existing architecture, such as classical GPUs.

Can quantum computing save us from 500 missiles attacking simultaneously? Perhaps ... and it has a far better shot than ...

A quantum computer is not limited to this “either/or” way of thinking. Its memory is made up of quantum bits, or qubits—tiny particles of matter like atoms or electrons. And qubits can do “both/and,” ...

You might think that creating a highly accurate model of the way air passes through a jet engine would be relatively easy. It is incredibly hard. The enormous number of variables means that it is, in ...

Chicago has quickly emerged as a hub for quantum computing, with the state of Illinois and technology companies pouring millions of dollars into developing a campus to build the world’s first ...

Quantum computers could revolutionize everything from drug discovery to business analytics—but their incredible power also ...
