In December 2024, a team at Google published a result in Nature that physicists had been chasing for nearly three decades: a ...

Scientists in Germany have pulled off a staggering computing feat by fully simulating a 50-qubit quantum computer for the ...

Quantum computing promises to reshape energy by enabling advanced simulations and accelerating materials discovery for carbon ...

While the billion-dollar question is about when quantum computing will become commercially viable, one of the problems being tackled at the moment is how to make the ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm is reshaping how scientists approach some of the most complex materials known, enabling ...

Google claims to have developed a quantum computer algorithm that is 13,000 times faster than the most powerful supercomputers. This would bring the technology another step closer to real-world ...

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all. I’m standing in front ...

Quantum computers still can’t do much. Almost every time researchers have found something the high-tech machines should one day excel at, a classical algorithm comes along that can do it just as well ...

On the other front, theorists are refining quantum algorithms: recent work shows the resources needed to break today's cryptography may be far lower than earlier estimates. The net result? The day ...
