When we measure a qubit in superposition, it picks one state, like a spinning coin landing heads or tails. This is called ...

A team of physicists set out to test some of the most exciting claims in quantum computing—and found a very different story. Instead of confirming breakthroughs, their careful replication studies ...

Quantum computing is moving from physics labs into real hardware, promising to attack problems that overwhelm even the fastest supercomputers. Among the boldest claims is that these machines could ...

Quantum computers have become the latest canvas for humanity’s oldest fantasy: escaping death. Startups, futurists, and speculative essays now suggest that machines built to manipulate qubits could ...

You might think that creating a highly accurate model of the way air passes through a jet engine would be relatively easy. It is incredibly hard. The enormous number of variables means that it is, in ...

What if the most complex problems plaguing industries today—curing diseases, optimizing global supply chains, or even securing digital communication—could be solved in a fraction of the time it takes ...

The Wisconsin Union Directorate welcomed renowned quantum physicist John Martinis to Shannon Hall on March 23 as part of the ...

Quantum hardware and software are advancing rapidly – and our online encryption systems need to change to stay ahead.

Quantum computers struggle with a major flaw: their information vanishes unpredictably. Scientists have now created a new method that can measure this loss over 100 times faster than before. By ...

Quantum vendors and national agencies are aligning to establish common standards for logical qubits, which should enable ...
