There's a lot of interest in quantum computing in the banking world, but outside specialized teams at large institutions that have invested in it, there is a lack of clarity on what it is, how it ...

When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ...

The recent Project Eleven bounty for quantum computers cracking cryptographic keys is a joke. It provides no serious incentive at all. Recently, Project Eleven (a quantum computing research group) ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

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 ...

Last week I summarized takeaways from my visit to SXSW earlier this month. As I mentioned in that article, the most hyped technology at the event was quantum computing. I found this to be quite ...

Teleportation may seem like the preserve of science fiction, but scientists have proven that it can work in reality - at ...

A quantum computer is not limited to this “either/or” way of thinking. Its memory is made up of quantum bits, or qubits—tiny particles of matter like atoms or electrons. And qubits can do “both/and,” ...

Princeton engineers have built a superconducting qubit that lasts three times longer than today’s best versions, marking a ...

You might be familiar with the qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum information. As its name suggests, a qubit in a quantum computer performs the same function as a bit in a classical computer, with ...

IBM announced new processors that it said will help it build a “fault-tolerant quantum computer” by the end of the decade.

Pure-play quantum computing stocks skyrocketed in December, driven by the announcement from Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google unit of a big breakthroughs in the field on Dec. 9. Its ...
