In the previous article titled “The Basics: How Quantum Computers Work and Where the Technology is Heading,” we provided an overview of foundational quantum computing concepts, including qubits ...

One intriguing method that could be used to form the qubits needed for quantum computers involves electrons hovering above liquid helium. But it wasn't clear how data in this form could be read easily ...

Researchers at QuTech in Delft, The Netherlands, have developed a new chip architecture that could make it easier to test and scale up quantum processors based on semiconductor spin qubits Researchers ...

Quantum computers hold the potential to revolutionize the possibilities for solving difficult computational problems that would take classical computers many years to resolve. But for those computers ...

Superconducting qubits—bits of quantum information—have been widely considered a promising technology for moving quantum ...

Developing technology that allows quantum information to be both stable and accessible is a critical challenge in the development of useful quantum computers that operate at scale. Research published ...

Quantum computing is no longer science fiction confined to the lab. It is a new computing paradigm with the potential to solve problems beyond the reach of classical systems. From simulating complex ...

David Reilly and his University of Sidney team developed a silicon chip that can control spin qubits at milli-kelvin temperatures. That’s just slightly above absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius), ...

Foundational to the work on quantum error correction (QEC) are logical qubits, which are created by entangling multiple physical qubits, whose quantum state can be destroyed by environmental noise ...

Chemistry professor Danna Freedman crafts “designer molecules” for quantum information science. It all began with a simple origami model. As an undergrad at Harvard, Danna Freedman went to a professor ...

Quantum computing is a largely theoretical, ultimately expensive proposition for high-level computation. However, new ...
