Google scientists have created a new algorithm that can solve problems on a quantum processor 13,000 times faster than the world's fastest supercomputers. They say it brings us one step closer to ...
Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...
Few people have invented an algorithm with the potential to spark a worldwide crisis, so why is quantum computing pioneer ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...
Together, they form Helios, a new quantum computer built by the British-American company Quantinuum. Quantum computers use ...
This technology may or may not be a big deal. Simultaneously.
A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.
