Physicists at the NIST have measured and controlled a superconducting quantum bit (qubit) using light-conducting fiber instead of metal wires. Superconducting circuits are a leading technology for ...

There are currently about 80 companies across the world manufacturing quantum computing hardware. Because I report on quantum computing, I have had a chance to watch it grow as an industry from up ...

With the rise of quantum computers, the security of our existing communication systems is at risk. Quantum computers will be able to break many of the encryption methods used in current communication ...

Scientists in the U.K. have successfully connected two separate quantum processors, paving the way for a quantum internet and, potentially, quantum supercomputers. Increasing the number of quantum ...

Researchers used the Q‑Chip to send quantum data over standard fiber using Internet Protocol (IP), showing that future quantum networks could run on today’s internet infrastructure. When you purchase ...

Quantum computers are powerful, lightning-fast and notoriously difficult to connect to one another over long distances. Previously, the maximum distance two quantum computers could connect through a ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

…while Karlsruhe’s new encryption approach boosts defense against quantum threats. Twente’s new component exchanges photon quantity for quality. Quantum computers are at a tipping point: the tech ...

Scientists have sent quantum signals over standard fiber-optic cables using the same connectivity that powers today’s web, in what could be a major step towards a working quantum internet. In a study ...
