A quantum algorithm, however, runs on a quantum computer, which uses quantum bits (or qubits). Unlike bits, qubits can represent 0 and 1 at the same time, due to a property called superposition.

The SEI is working to study how quantum computing can serve as the next paradigm that will produce breakthroughs in computing speed and power.

Tech Tech Industry IBM computing algorithm thinks like an animal IBM developed a computer that can beat a chess master. Now it's coined research that may let a machine outfox a badger.

Technology Quantum twist on common computer algorithm promises useful speed boost Quantum computers have been shown to solve some problems faster than ordinary computers, but so far all these ...

Other quantum computing companies—including D-Wave, Phasecraft, Zapata Computing, and Algorithmiq—are also developing infrastructure and algorithms to optimize today’s quantum hardware.
