Quantum computers could soon be able to solve genuinely useful mathematical problems faster than classical computers, claims quantum computing firm Quantinuum. It would be the first example of these ...

Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) in the US turned to an often overlooked particle for storing and processing quantum information to overcome the fragility of quantum ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

Quantum computers just beat classical ones — Exponentially and unconditionally Conducted on IBM quantum processors, study demonstrates “a promise of quantum computing previously articulated only on ...

Mathematicians have found a way to transform an unproductive quantum computing approach by reviving a class of previously discarded particles. Now, in a new study published in the journal Nature ...

What if the most complex problems plaguing industries today—curing diseases, optimizing global supply chains, or even securing digital communication—could be solved in a fraction of the time it takes ...

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...

Quantum computing has long been the domain of theoretical physics and academic labs, but it’s starting to move from concept to experimentation in the real world. Industries from logistics and energy ...
