Just a few years ago, many researchers in quantum computing thought it would take several decades to develop machines that ...

Quantum computing technology is complex, getting off the ground and maturing. There is promise of things to come. potentially ...

Scientists have finally figured out how to read ultra-secure Majorana qubits—bringing robust quantum computing a big step closer. “This is a crucial advance,” says Ramón Aguado, a CSIC researcher at ...

Simmons says that silicon quantum processors offer an inherent advantage in scaling, too. Generating numerous registers on a single chip and using “naturally occurring” qubits, she notes, reduces ...

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 ...

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 ...

By using controlled microwave noise, researchers created a quantum refrigerator capable of operating as a cooler, heat engine, or amplifier. This approach offers a new way to manage heat directly ...

Most investors are now aware of the remarkable rallies that have been locked inside the technology sector of the United States. However, those extraordinary overnight gains have mainly been confined ...

The world's largest sovereign wealth fund has placed its chips on quantum computing, and analysts think it could change everything for the industry. Norges Bank, which manages roughly $2 trillion for ...
