Information is the lifeblood of the financial services industry, which means the faster and more accurately players can analyze complex information, the more they stand to gain. That’s why the ...

You might be familiar with the qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum information. As its name suggests, a qubit in a quantum computer performs the same function as a bit in a classical computer, with ...

Maria Violaris works on quantum foundations as an academic visitor at the University of Oxford, UK, and on quantum computing at Oxford Quantum Circuits, Reading, UK. Norma G. Sanchez, is the founder ...

But for the purposes of understanding how quantum computers work, that “spin” is better thought of as an electron pointing either up or down, as physicist John Gribbin explains in his very handy ...

Jacob Benestad in front of an experimental setup in the laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. This setup is similar to the one used during the group's experiments at the ...

Get the latest federal technology news delivered to your inbox. Quantum science, and especially its most popular offshoot, quantum computing, have come a long way in a fairly short period of time.

Traditional computers—be it an Apple Watch or the most powerful supercomputer—rely on tiny silicon transistors that work like on-off switches to encode bits of data. Each circuit can have one of two ...

Chicago has quickly emerged as a hub for quantum computing, with the state of Illinois and technology companies pouring millions of dollars into developing a campus to build the world’s first ...

Quantum hardware has finally crossed a psychological threshold: it is no longer a science project in search of a purpose, it is a working tool that large companies and governments are starting to use.

IBM (NYSE:IBM) said it can run a vital quantum computing algorithm on commonly available chips from Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), Reuters reported. Jay Gambetta, the IBM vice president running ...

An international team has confirmed that large quantum systems really do obey quantum mechanics. Using Bell’s test across 73 qubits, they proved the presence of genuine quantum correlations that can’t ...
