Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

Quantum computing has the attention of the most powerful institutions in the world, including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM and the U.S. government. Startups in the space attracted about $2 billion ...

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum ...

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -Google said it has developed a computer algorithm that points the way to practical applications for quantum computing and will be able to generate unique data for use with ...

HOUSTON – (Sept. 3, 2025) – Quantum computers promise enormous computational power, but the nature of quantum states makes computation and data inherently “noisy.” Rice University computer scientists ...

Google has made a significant leap in quantum computing with the unveiling of the Quantum Echoes algorithm, a revolutionary development that outpaces the world’s leading supercomputers by a staggering ...

Are quantum computers worth the billions that are being invested in them? The answer is probably many years away. However, the machines could prove to be particularly suited to solving problems in ...

A team at Google Quantum AI, led by researcher Craig Gidney, has shown that breaking RSA-2048 encryption could require roughly 20 times fewer physical qubits than previously estimated, collapsing the ...

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.

Quantum computers still can’t do much. Almost every time researchers have found something the high-tech machines should one day excel at, a classical algorithm comes along that can do it just as well ...
