Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new approach for reducing the errors that riddle today's rudimentary quantum computers.

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology theorize that a functional quantum computer may require far fewer qubits than previously thought, making it feasible for the first quantum computer to be deployed before the end of the decade.

Quantum computing lags behind AI growth creating urgent gap in computation energy scalability and future technological progress

Silicon is ubiquitous in modern electronics, and now it is becoming increasingly useful in quantum computing. In particular, silicon's compatibility with existing chip technology and its long coherence times in silicon-based spin qubits make it a promising material for scalable quantum computing.

Developers are already working to address quantum risks, and investors shouldn’t mistake a long-term challenge for an immediate threat, according to Galaxy Digital’s head of research Alex Thorn.

A quantum battery has been built within a quantum computer, a first step in determining whether such batteries could play a role in powering future quantum technologies. Conventional batteries store energy because their components undergo electrochemical ...
