The allure of quantum computers is, at its heart, quite simple: by leveraging counterintuitive quantum effects, they could perform computational feats utterly impossible for any classical computer.

New landmark peer-reviewed paper published in Science, “Beyond-Classical Computation in Quantum Simulation,” unequivocally validates D-Wave’s achievement of the world’s first and only demonstration of ...

An illustration of a quantum system that was simulated by both classical and quantum computers. The highlighted sections show how the influence of the system’s components is confined to nearby ...

One of the more striking things about quantum computing is that the field, despite not having proven itself especially useful, has already spawned a collection of startups that are focused on building ...

Paradoxically, reports of powerful quantum computations are motivating improvements to classical ones, making it harder for quantum machines to gain an advantage. “Most of the time when people talk ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For years, companies like Google and various Chinese research outfits have claimed to have achieved “quantum supremacy”—the ability of a quantum ...

For quantum computers to change the game of computation, scientists need to show that the machines’ calculations are correct. Now, there’s hope. Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved verifiable ...

Quantum computers will one day outpace the fastest supercomputers on the planet, but what will they be used to accomplish? When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Mikel Díez, Director of Quantum Computing at IBM Spain, explains how the new quantum systems will work alongside classical ones to offer new possibilities for problem-solving. The Basque city of San ...
