Quantum computing has imprinted itself on our society as a weird, wacky way of computing that most of us can’t comprehend. And some of that is true, especially given the old chestnut that says, “If ...

A new critique in the scientific journal Nature is ‌raising fresh questions about Microsoft’s claimed quantum computing breakthrough last year, which underpinned the company’s announcement this month ...

Scientists have developed a new way to read the hidden states of Majorana qubits, which store information in paired quantum modes that resist noise. The results confirm their protected nature and show ...

Microsoft’s controversial claim that its Majorana chip program will make possible a scalable quantum computer by 2029 has been thrown into new doubt by a scientific paper that questions whether the ...

A major breakthrough in quantum technology has turned magnons, tiny magnetic waves once considered too short-lived for practical use, into promising carriers of quantum information. Researchers ...

In a laboratory in Broomfield, Colorado, 98 atoms are suspended in mid-air, held in place by electric fields and cooled to temperatures close to absolute zero. Each atom is far smaller than anything ...

There isn't one established way to do quantum computing, which is why there are so many competitors in the space. The most popular type of quantum computing is known as superconducting, which involves ...

Just as AI has its dreams of “AGI” and “superintelligence,” quantum computing has its own north star: broad, practical quantum advantage over traditional supercomputers. The quantum industry’s goal is ...
