At its most basic level, the idea is to use tiny particles as quantum bits, or qubits, to store, transmit and process data in the way that traditional computers use bits.

The promise of so-called “quantum advantage” is simple. By harnessing the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics, ...

Microsoft and Boulder-based company, Atom Computing, are building the world’s most powerful quantum computer in Denmark.

The Novo Nordisk Foundation and Denmark's state-owned credit fund said on Thursday they will invest in what they say will be ...

Quantum computer programming basics Date: June 14, 2022 Source: DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory Summary: For would-be quantum programmers scratching their heads over how to jump into the game ...

Rigetti and D-Wave will be able to break away from the pack, while Quantum Computing’s technology poses a challenge, an ...

No matter your feelings on quantum computers, qubits, or half-dead/half-alive cats, the odds are pretty good that quantum computers will follow the same path that IBM’s mainframes did.

Whether you consider the discovery of new drugs to cure new or complex diseases or the possibility of an "unhackable" encryption system for secure data transmission over public networks, quantum ...

The basic dilemma: In order to retrieve the information of a qubit, its quantum state must be destroyed. The heat released in the process can interfere with the sensitive quantum system.
