Back in 2019, Google made waves by claiming it had achieved what has been called “quantum supremacy”—the ability of a quantum computer to perform operations that would take a wildly impractical amount ...

Scientists have achieved the lowest quantum computing error rate ever recorded — an important step in solving the fundamental challenges on the way to practical ...

Ripples spreading across a calm lake after raindrops fall—and the way ripples from different drops overlap and travel outward ...

Quantum computers are a little like librarians: both abhor noise. Compared with their classical counterparts, quantum computers are finicky and need a serene environment to perform their calculations ...

Quantum computing breakthroughs from IonQ, D-Wave, QuEra, Alice & Bob, and others in the last six months, with dates, achievements, and their impact on error-corrected, scalable quantum systems. May 7 ...

Some users are complaining that their computer is freezing or crashing and making a high-pitched noise. This is troubling the routine of many users of Windows 11/10. Imagine you are working on ...

Don't worry—this doesn't necessarily mean it's about to die. Here are some things you can check Reviewed by Chris Selph Computer buzzing sounds are usually harmless and easy to fix, but there's always ...

Quantum computers are fragile miracles of physics that are unreliable, cost-prohibitive, and more error-prone than a shortstop with no depth perception. But, if we ever want to get to Star Trek levels ...

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 ...

For the first time, IBM has used a quantum computer to solve a problem that that stumps the leading classical methods. This accomplishment marks a significant milestone in the path towards useful ...
