Quantum computing is still in its infancy, easily beaten by traditional computers. One of the biggest challenges? The fact that quantum bits — qubits — are much more fragile than the bits in silicon ...

For quantum computers to go from research curiosities to practically useful devices, researchers need to get their errors under control. New research from Microsoft and Quantinuum has now taken a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo have announced a breakthrough in quantum error ...

In contrast to classical computers, which operate on bits that can only take the basic values 0 and 1, quantum computers operate on "qubits," which can assume any superposition of the computational ...

Today’s quantum computing hardware is severely limited in what it can do by errors that are difficult to avoid. There can be problems with everything from setting the initial state of a qubit to ...

A bosonic qubit developed by Nord Quantique. Made of aluminum, these cavities now contain two tiny "poles", each operating at a different frequency. These additional ...

In a scene from the movie Gladiator, Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, worried about the fragility of his empire, tells his general, Maximus: “There was once a dream that was Rome. You could only whisper ...

Researchers from Google have demonstrated a new generation of quantum computer, called Willow, which is able to run its random circuit sampling (RCS) benchmark significantly faster than a ...

Following up on Microsoft’s announcement of a qubit based on completely new physics, Amazon is publishing a paper describing a very different take on quantum computing hardware. The system mixes two ...
