Everyone's racing to build the most powerful quantum computer. But what if the winner is the one that plays nicest with ...

Physicists create a stable quantum gate as a basic element for the quantum computer. Physicists from Konstanz, Princeton and Maryland create a stable quantum gate as a basic element for the quantum ...

Theoretical physics isn’t the easiest field in science to translate into laymen’s terms. Until recently it’s solely been the domain of geniuses like the late Stephen Hawking and fictional characters ...

The usefulness of most quantum computers is still significantly limited by the low number of qubits that hardware can support. But simple fiber optic cables – just like the ones used for broadband ...

The ingredients for superfast computers could be nearly in place. For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that two silicon transistors acting as quantum bits can perform a tiny calculation.
