Quantum computing is one of those technologies where real-world applications always seem to lie just over the horizon. The next big thing is announced before quickly becoming a forgotten article from ...

Gov. Wes Moore (D), who calls quantum computing a “lighthouse industry” for Maryland, has secured more than $1 billion in ...

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.

There are currently about 80 companies across the world manufacturing quantum computing hardware. Because I report on quantum computing, I have had a chance to watch it grow as an industry from up ...

There are lots of quantum computing start-ups, but IBM, America's first tech company, has led the pack since the 1970s, and ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

IBM has been working on quantum computing technology for decades. A strong quantum roadmap will deliver useful quantum computing within the next decade. With a roadmap that plots a course toward full ...

D-Wave, IonQ, and Rigetti use different approaches to build quantum computers. All three companies are unprofitable but are generating sales from their quantum systems. The odds are stacked against ...

For the first time, an international team of scientists has experimentally simulated spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) at zero temperature using a superconducting quantum processor. This achievement ...

For quantum computers to change the game of computation, scientists need to show that the machines’ calculations are correct. Now, there’s hope. Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved verifiable ...

Alexa von Tobel is fully aware that her big bet on quantum computing may never pay off. “The risk of being too early is a real risk,” she says. She’s speaking to me via Zoom from the New York City ...

The world of quantum computing has barged into a new frontier: space. A tiny quantum computer housed in a satellite is now in orbit around Earth, ScienceNews reports, residing some 330 miles above our ...
