Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Two independent research teams have each demonstrated collisional quantum gates using fermionic atoms: a long-sought ...

In a laboratory at Oxford University, scientists have achieved something that once seemed science fiction: they made two separate quantum computers work together as one. Instead of being connected by ...

Collisional quantum gates based on fermionic atoms have been realized independently by researchers in Germany and Switzerland ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have realized particularly stable quantum logical operations with qubits made of neutral atoms. Since these operations, called quantum gates, are based on geometric phases, ...

Quantum computing future explained through cryptography, optimization, and AI breakthroughs showing how quantum computing ...

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has been a cornerstone of the standard model, withstanding the scrutiny of ...

Part one explained the physics of quantum computing. This piece explains the target — how bitcoin's encryption works, why a ...

Light crossed the gap between two machines in an Oxford laboratory, and with it came a result that pushes quantum computing ...
