A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the ...

As quantum computing develops, scientists are working to identify tasks for which quantum computers have a clear advantage over classical computers. So far, researchers have only pinpointed a handful ...

Researchers at Google have created an algorithm that can translate complex physical problems into the language of quantum mechanics, which could make quantum computers able to tackle more tasks. IBM’s ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

A ‘quantum processor’ has solved a physics problem on the behaviour of magnetism in certain solids that would take the largest conventional supercomputers hundreds of thousands of years to calculate.

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

Quantum computing is rapidly emerging and, as it progresses forward, promises to cross fields of industry—from health sciences to finance and many other fields. Its advent is transforming the face of ...

Quantum computers are poised to become computational superpowers, but researchers have long sought a viable problem that confers a quantum advantage — something only a quantum computer can solve. Only ...

The nature of quantum entanglement remains an outstanding problem in physics. But Albert Einstein's theories, along with insights from quantum computing, could finally put the mystery to rest. When ...

Physicists have long relied on elegant theorems to connect the abstract math of quantum theory with the tangible behavior of ...
