Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new approach for reducing the errors that riddle today's rudimentary quantum computers.
Google's new whitepaper says it could take only minutes for a quantum system to crack Bitcoin.
An international team of scientists proved the never-before-seen molecule's exotic nature using a quantum computer, potentially ushering in new scientific opportunities.
Silicon is ubiquitous in modern electronics, and now it is becoming increasingly useful in quantum computing. In particular, silicon's compatibility with existing chip technology and its long coherence times in silicon-based spin qubits make it a promising material for scalable quantum computing.
