The global race towards a functioning quantum computer is on. With future quantum computers, we will be able to solve previously impossible problems and develop, for example, complex medicines, ...

IBM (International Business Machines Corp.) claimed that they built the world's largest quantum computer fridge. A "Mistral" supercomputer, installed in 2016, at the German Climate Computing Center ...

GREENSBORO, NC -- You know your computer, your smart phone, your bank account can be hacked, but your refrigerator? No, not your 20-year-old refrigerator. But if you have a smart fridge, a smart ...

Quantum computers require extreme cooling to perform reliable calculations. One of the challenges preventing quantum computers from entering society is the difficulty of freezing the qubits to ...

IBM, one of the world’s oldest tech companies, is building a refrigerator. That, in itself, is not unprecedented. Other tech companies have built fridges before. LG sells the impressive ...

Researchers may solve one of the biggest practical problems facing quantum computers: cooling. If it can make real-world quantum computers more achievable and affordable, this could be a breakthrough ...

In the Hudson Valley, an hour’s train trip away from New York City, I am struggling to move a big, curved piece of metal. It is at the front of a large cylindrical machine at least twice my size. IBM ...

The new quantum refrigerator, seen here in an artist's conception, is based on superconducting circuits. The device, which cools qubits to record low temperatures, is composed of two qubits---one hot ...
