Quantum computing is taking a new leap forward due to new research. The team of researchers have proposed a scheme to reduce the number of calculations needed to read out data stored in the state ...

Quantum computing will not deliver truly useful business results overnight, but the pace of progress is no longer linear; ...

Computer scientist Peter Gutmann tells The Reg why it's 'bollocks' The US National Institute for Standards and Technology ...

Scaling quantum machines requires thousands of qubits, each with its own read‑out circuitry. The compounded thermal load from always‑on amplifiers intensifies the risk of qubit decoherence and ...

A new algorithm that fast forwards simulations could bring greater use ability to current and near-term quantum computers, opening the way for applications to run past strict time limits that ...

Nature talked to one of the people behind these algorithm improvements, who was optimistic that they could eventually replicate all of D-Wave's results using non-quantum algorithms. D-Wave ...

A recent research paper makes the claim that the RSA cryptographic algorithm can be broken with a quantum algorithm. Skeptics warn: don’t believe everything you read. Every CISO has encryption ...

Method to further understanding of the quantum state space. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — In 2019, Google claimed it was the first to demonstrate a quantum computer performing a calculation beyond the ...

Carrying out operations in a quantum computer involves creating small circuits from a few qubits, known as gates, that perform simple logical operations. In Shor’s original algorithm, the number of ...

Quantum computers have been hyped as machines that can solve almost any problem. Yet it is becoming clearer that their near-term utility will be narrower ...

Recently, [Jabrils] set out to accomplish a difficult task: porting a quantum-inspired algorithm to run on a (simulated) quantum computer. Algorithms are often inspired by all sorts of natural phen… ...
