Bell-1 overcomes one of quantum computing’s biggest engineering challenges by using a self-contained cryogenic cooling system to maintain its silicon quantum processor at 0.3 Kelvin (-272.85°C ...

Normally, quantum computers store information using quantum bits, or qubits. However, to simulate the behavior of the molecules, we also used vibrations of the atoms in the computer called “bosonic ...

China unveils quantum computer that’s one quadrillion times faster than existing supercomputers - Leap in computing power came after optimising fabrication and wiring configuration, researchers say.

Researchers have criticised Microsoft's new Majorana 1 quantum computer, saying the company has made claims about the way it works that aren't fully backed up by scientific evidence ...

On a special episode (first released on April 9, 2025) of The Excerpt podcast: Microsoft says it has created a new state of matter to power quantum computers - one that’s neither liquid, solid ...

Imagine the tiniest game of checkers in the world—one played by using lasers to precisely shuffle around ions across a very small grid. That’s the idea behind a recent study published in the journal ...

The field of quantum computing, like qubits themselves, exists in a state of indeterminacy, with multiple companies making big claims about wildly different approaches. On Thursday, DARPA—the ...

What happens when quantum computers can finally crack encryption and break into the world’s best-kept secrets? It’s called Q-Day—the worst holiday maybe ever.

Announced on April 3, 15 companies focused on quantum computing will work with DARPA researchers to scale their technology with one common goal: creating a utility scale quantum computer.

Ultimately, the new approach works because of how it encodes information. Classical computers use bits, which can take one of two values. Qubits, the quantum equivalent, can take on multiple values, ...

"One of the central questions that faces quantum computing is what classes of problems they can most efficiently solve but classical computers cannot," says Marco Cerezo, the Los Alamos team's ...
