The U.S. and China are racing to develop computers based on the properties of quantum physics – with implications for science ...

Mikel Díez, Director of Quantum Computing at IBM Spain, explains how the new quantum systems will work alongside classical ones to offer new possibilities for problem-solving. The Basque city of San ...

Using a powerful machine made up of 56 trapped-ion quantum bits, or qubits, researchers have achieved something once thought impossible. They have proven, for the first time, that a quantum computer ...

Classical computing gave us automation. What's coming next is something closer to a factory that thinks. But getting there requires two technologies converging in a way that many might not fully ...

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a powerful alternative for addressing some very practical challenges. Reading time 3 minutes In a world of ever-improving computing ...
