Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new approach for reducing the errors that riddle today's rudimentary quantum computers.

Today, Oratomic, a startup founded by pioneers of fault-tolerant quantum computing and neutral-atom technology, launches with a mission to build utility-scale quantum computers by the end of the decade.

Pure plays such as IonQ and Rigetti Computing dominate the quantum computing narrative, but one member of the "Magnificent Seven" may be the better buy.

IBM scientists say they have solved the biggest bottleneck in quantum computing and plan to launch the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant machine by 2029. The new research demonstrates new error-correction techniques that the scientists say will ...

Quantum computers could solve certain problems that would take traditional classical computers an impractically long time to solve. At the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), researchers are now working to make these systems reliable and trustworthy.

My two favorite quantum computing stocks that I think will soar during the next few years are IonQ ( IONQ 7.83%) and D-Wave Quantum ( QBTS 5.29%). Both of these companies are taking different approaches to the quantum computing realm, and both can thrive.
