What are the prime factors, or multipliers, for the number 15? Most grade school students know the answer—3 and 5—by memory. A larger number, such as 91, may take some pen and paper. An even larger ...

Isn't it ionic: An artist's representation of Quantinuum's 56-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer. Researchers used this computer to demonstrate a way of generating random numbers, then using a ...

Researchers report that they have designed and built a quantum computer from five atoms in an ion trap. The computer uses laser pulses to carry out Shor's algorithm on each atom, to correctly factor ...
