Quantum computers still look like lab toys: Racks of hardware, error-prone qubits and almost no real-world applications. Yet if you check the roadmaps of major layer-1 blockchains, a new priority now ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

This Collection invites original research articles on quantum algorithms, focusing on the latest advancements in their design and implementation. Topics of interest include the latest quantum ...

Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data inherently "noisy." Rice University computer scientists have developed algorithms ...

The Albert Einstein Jewish Brazilian Hospital, in the city of São Paulo (Brazil), has launched a project to evaluate the application of quantum computing to develop new drugs, advance the ...
