Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly ...

For decades, quantum computing has been heralded as a technology of the future, promising to solve problems far beyond the reach of supercomputers. But its practical use has remained elusive. That’s ...

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

Quantum computing technology is complex, getting off the ground and maturing. There is promise of things to come. potentially changing the computing paradigm.

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are practically impossible to solve. Quantum computers threaten to flip that ...

New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...

International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) has been working on quantum computing technology for decades. The company's quantum computing roadmap calls for a demonstration of quantum advantage, where ...
