To be 100% fair to Bob Thomas, the first computer virus, known as Creeper, wasn’t sent with any malicious intent. Instead, it was mostly a case of experimentation in whether or not code could be ...

They have proven, for the first time, that a quantum computer can generate bits of randomness that are certifiably random—verified using classical supercomputers.

Q&A: Companies are racing to develop the first useful quantum computer—ultracold neutral atoms could be the key by Swinburne University of Technology edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert Egan ...

A rare, operational Apple-1 Computer was recently put up for auction, and it ended up selling for $375,000. The Apple-1 was the first computer sold by Apple co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve ...

The powerhouse computers can be sensitive and error-prone. Now, IBM is offering some details on how it will overcome those problems and build a first-of-its-kind quantum computer.

In the first, the team sent hard-to-solve puzzles to the quantum computer. These puzzles are so complex that classical computers—even the best ones on Earth—can’t solve them fast enough.

Using a powerful machine made up of 56 trapped-ion quantum bits, or qubits, researchers have achieved something once thought impossible. They have proven, for the first time, that a quantum ...
