Researchers and tech companies are in a global race to develop quantum computers that can solve hard scientific problems that conventional computers can’t, and that they hope can eventually support ...

Scientists have recently unveiled a groundbreaking quantum bit, or qubit, design that promises to revolutionize quantum computing. This new development could significantly enhance the stability and ...

A Canadian quantum computing start-up claims its new qubit will enable much smaller and cheaper error-free quantum computers. But getting there will be a steep challenge. To correct its own errors, a ...

The promise of so-called “quantum advantage” is simple. By harnessing the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics, quantum computers should be able to—in theory—surpass the computational potential ...

In a major step toward practical quantum computers, Princeton engineers have built a superconducting qubit that lasts three times longer than today’s best versions. “The real challenge, the thing that ...

Quantum computers represent a breakthrough comparable to the move from valves to transistors in computer engineering. It doesn't just mean processing data faster; it means processing data in ways that ...

In its second antimatter breakthrough this month, CERN announced it successfully created the first-ever antimatter qubit, paving the way to even weirder quantum experiments. Reading time 3 minutes ...

PsiQuantum Inc., a well-funded quantum computing startup, said today it has raised $1 billion in late-stage funding to accelerate its efforts to build a large-scale, reliable quantum computer with ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...
