Physicist Jay Gambetta, at IBM’s lab in Yorktown Heights, New York, explains how microwaves orchestrate a solution on a quantum chip: “Think of each qubit as a line in music. You’re creating notes.” ...

A major obstacle in the development of powerful quantum computers is the growing number of cables required to control a computer as the number of qubits increases. Researchers at Chalmers University ...

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...

Rice University quantum computing researchers have introduced a novel algorithm with the potential to speed up quantum computing. This algorithm landed the team in the finals for the XPRIZE Quantum ...

Part 1 of this series explained what quantum computers actually are. Not just faster versions of regular computers, but a fundamentally different kind of machine that exploits the weird rules of ...

Years before emails, internet banking, cloud servers and cryptocurrency wallets, two scientists devised a way to keep secrets perfectly safe and indecipherable to eavesdropping outsiders. Their 1984 ...
