For example, this summer, the National Institute of Standards and Technology released a set of quantum-proof encryption algorithms, so that the world has time to get ready for when quantum computers ...

Google's latest breakthrough in quantum computing, the Willow chip, is reigniting discussions among the scientific community about the possibility of parallel universes. Hartmut Neven, the founder and ...

Monday saw an announcement from tech goliath Google that reverberated around the computing industry: a new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip called "Willow" with unprecedented capabilities.

Google unveiled an experimental machine capable of tasks that a traditional supercomputer could not master in 10 septillion years. (That’s older than the universe.) Google’s quantum computing cooling ...

Google's new 105-qubit "Willow" quantum processor has surpassed a key milestone first proposed in 1995 — with errors now reducing exponentially as you scale up quantum computers. When you purchase ...

The company’s surface code technique allows its quantum bits to faithfully store and manipulate data for longer, which could pave the way for useful quantum ...

For the first time, a quantum computer has improved its results by repeatedly fixing its own mistakes midcalculation with a technique called quantum error correction ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1896, the Swedish physicist Svante Arrhenius realized that carbon dioxide (CO 2) traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere—the phenomenon now ...

Palo Alto-based startup PsiQuantum is coming to Chicago to build and operate quantum computers—bringing as many as 150 jobs in the next five years and anchoring a massive quantum campus to be built at ...

In 2019, Google claimed that its Sycamore quantum computer could perform calculations that would take even the world’s most powerful classical supercomputer 10,000 years to complete – but now it seems ...

“I’m not saying it’s all true,” says Christoph Simon, a physicist at the University of Calgary in Canada. “I’m just saying it is not crazy to look for it.” He is talking about the possibility that ...

A new theory of quantum gravity, which attempts to unite quantum physics with Einstein's relativity, could help solve the puzzle of the universe's expansion, a theoretical paper suggests. When you ...
