Quantum computers have become the latest canvas for humanity’s oldest fantasy: escaping death. Startups, futurists, and speculative essays now suggest that machines built to manipulate qubits could ...

Quantum entanglement occurs when two subatomic particles become linked in such a way that their properties remain connected, no matter how far apart they are. A change to one particle seems to ...

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN, and IBM have carried out the largest quantum-classical chemistry ...

After decades spent gestating in labs, quantum computing has finally reached an inflection point between theoretical promise and practical implementation. From discoveries in pharmaceutical and ...

What if the impossible became routine? Imagine solving a problem so complex it would take a classical computer 20 million years to crack, now imagine doing it in just 15 minutes. That’s exactly what ...

Quantum computers could revolutionize everything from drug discovery to business analytics—but their incredible power also makes them surprisingly vulnerable. New research from Penn State warns that ...

Quantum computers may help us see more exoplanets – and see them in more detail too. Astronomers have now found thousands of planets beyond our solar system, but they anticipate that there are ...

John Martinis is a hardware guy. He prefers the nitty-gritty of doing physics in the lab over the idealised world of textbooks. But you couldn’t write the quantum computing history books without him: ...

Most of the crypto industry spent this week processing Google's paper on how quantum computers could break blockchain encryption. One startup is asking a different question — whether quantum hardware ...
