Researchers at the University of Maryland have created the first programmable quantum computing module, opening the way for post-binary PCs. Currently our machines operate purely with 1s and 0s. In ...

The dream of creating game-changing quantum computers—supermachines that encode information in single atoms rather than ...

Google's Quantum Echoes algorithm brings us closer to a world where quantum technology has useful applications. Here's what ...

I won't get too technical, but here's the main idea behind quantum computing: Traditional computers, like the one I'm using ...

Two-dimensional projection of a quantum spherical code composed of two copies (black and red) of the four complex dimensional Witting polytope. This code can correct up to five photon losses of any ...

In 1994, a mathematician at AT&T Research named Peter Shor brought instant fame to “ quantum computers ” when he discovered that these hypothetical devices could quickly factor large numbers — and ...

Memo to the developers of superfast quantum computers: give up on the familiar 1s-and-0s binary system used in conventional computers. By switching to a novel five-state system, you will find it ...

Unlike binary bits of information in ordinary computers, “qubits” consist of quantum particles that have some probability of being in each of two states, designated |0 and |1 , at the same time. When ...
