Quantum technologies like quantum computers are built from quantum materials. These types of materials exhibit quantum properties when exposed to the right conditions. Curiously, engineers can also ...

Scientists at University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland have developed a powerful new tool for finding the next generation of materials needed for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing. The ...

Researchers from Google Quantum AI report that their quantum processor, Willow, ran an algorithm for a quantum computer that solved a complex physics problem thousands of times faster than the world's ...

Google has made a significant leap in quantum computing with the unveiling of the Quantum Echoes algorithm, a revolutionary development that outpaces the world’s leading supercomputers by a staggering ...

When a quantum computer processes data, it must translate it into understandable quantum data. Algorithms that carry out this 'quantum compilation' typically optimize one target at a time. However, a ...

A research team has recently developed a novel algorithm in quantum physics known as 'entanglement microscopy' that enables visualization and mapping of this extraordinary phenomenon at a microscopic ...

Quantum hardware and software are advancing rapidly – and our online encryption systems need to change to stay ahead.

Part one explained the physics of quantum computing. This piece explains the target — how bitcoin's encryption works, why a ...

Performing complex algorithms on quantum computers will eventually require access to tens of thousands of hardware qubits. For most of the technologies being developed, this creates a problem: It’s ...

​For much of the past decade, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) lived primarily in academic journals and standards committees.
