To predict when we’ll have a truly useful quantum computer, we need to know precisely what one is. Columnist Karmela Padavic-Callaghan finds that’s harder to pin down than you might think ...

IBM and research partners show how quantum calculations can be checked for accuracy in real time in three new papers.

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. Inside a ...

AI models have been helping with predictions for a while now. Doctors, weather forecasters and stock brokers all use AI to try to peek into the future. Inside the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in ...

Every week quantum computing hits a new milestone: more qubits, fewer errors, better readout of results. But will these breakthroughs help solve the advanced computational problems facing energy, like ...

A new SoftBank and Quantinuum Inc. white paper, Quantum Computing Frontiers, attempts to answer one of the industry’s most ...

Imagine shining a flashlight across a dark room. You can predict exactly what the light will do: travel in a straight line from one point to another. That seems obvious, because in the world we see ...

IN 2013 GOOGLE and NASA, America’s space agency, launched a quantum computing lab. The idea was to use a specialised quantum ...
