The breakthrough addresses concerns that powerful quantum computers could eventually crack encryption standards to leave vulnerable financial systems, government communications, health data and media.

Reservoir computing is a promising machine learning-based approach for the analysis of data that changes over time, such as weather patterns, recorded speech or stock market trends. Classical ...

An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any ...

Scientists at the Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have directly ...

New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...

Quantum computing is moving from lab curiosity to practical tool far faster than most people realize, and the shift could reorder entire industries in a single decade. Instead of incremental gains, ...

Quantum computing in 2026 still isn't a faster laptop. It doesn't make email snappier, and it won't speed up spreadsheets.

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly ...

Light does not “think” in any human sense. Still, under the right conditions, it can behave in a way that looks uncannily ...

Scientists built a quantum gate linking four-state photons, showing complex quantum tasks can be done with fewer steps using qudits.

A time crystal more complex than any made before has been created in a quantum computer. Exploring the properties of this unusual quantum setup strengthens the case for quantum computers as machines ...

Sometimes a visually compelling metaphor is all you need to get an otherwise complicated idea across. In the summer of 2001, a Tulane physics professor named John P.
