Microsoft’s breakthrough with the first topological qubits and its own quantum chip, Majorana 1, could outpace Google’s brute force approach.

A discussion around measuring error rates in IBM quantum processors, with code examples, using Qiskit

There is no shortage of top-name – and even lesser known – companies pursuing the white whale of developing a quantum computer that can run workloads and

China has announced the development of its latest quantum system, combining the Xiaohong-504, a 504-qubit superconducting quantum chip, with the Tianyan-504 quantum computer. The breakthrough comes from China Telecom Quantum Group (CTQG), which will use the new supercomputer to boost national teleco...

In a first, researchers have shown that adding more “qubits” to a quantum computer can make it more resilient. It’s an essential step on the long road to practical applications.

In the span of four decades, quantum computation has evolved from an intellectual curiosity to a potentially realizable technology. Today, small-scale demonstrations have become possible for...

The ability to instantaneously “teleport” information over long distances is one of the strange phenomena that could make quantum computers uniquely powerful. Researchers at Quantinuum have now shown they can achieve the feat with a “logical qubit”, which they say is a major milestone towards large-

Current encryption methods will likely be broken by 2030. Embedded systems in development now will have a reasonable chance of encountering attacks.

The rise of quantum computing has opened the doors to transformative innovations that transcend the limits of classical computing. The quantum processing unit (QPU) represents a paradigm shift in computational science, akin to how the GPU revolutionized the world of computing in the 2000s. Let’s delve into how QPUs are poised to complement and potentially surpass GPUs, unlocking a new era of computational power. What is a Quantum Processing Unit (QPU)? A QPU harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to solve problems that classical computing finds difficult to handle. Utilizing qubits and quantum circuit models, QPUs aim to transform how

A guide to the basics of quantum computing with no prior knowledge required

The Paris-based company's strategy depends on so-called “cat states,” pairs of very different quantum states as diametrically opposed to one another as the “alive” and “dead” feline once famously postulated by Erwin Schrödinger.

Why does the quantum world behave in that strange, spooky way? Here’s our simple, four-step explanation (no magic needed)
