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 ...

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 ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- While quantum computers are already being used for research in chemistry, material science, and data security, most are still too small to be useful for large-scale applications.

This article was originally published on ARPU. View the original post here. IBM this week laid out one of the most ambitious roadmaps in computing, declaring it plans to have a practical, ...

By using controlled microwave noise, researchers created a quantum refrigerator capable of operating as a cooler, heat engine, or amplifier. This approach offers a new way to manage heat directly ...
