A new experiment using Google’s Sycamore quantum processor has taken a bold step toward testing ideas from quantum gravity. For the first time, researchers successfully sent quantum information ...

Quantum computing could lead to revolutions in cryptography, materials design and telecommunications. But fulfilling those ...

Quantum computing might seem like “just another” new technology, like the internet, cloud computing and AI. In fact, it’s something rather different – more similar to the leap forward from the ...

For all the hype surrounding quantum computers, the technology can sometimes appear to be a solution in search of a problem. Scientifically impressive, but not yet obviously useful in the real world.

For the past year, I kept bringing the same story to my editor: quantum computers are on the edge of becoming useful for scientific discovery. Of course, that has always been the goal. The idea of ...
