Scientists in Germany have pulled off a staggering computing feat by fully simulating a 50-qubit quantum computer for the ...

Quantum computing promises to reshape energy by enabling advanced simulations and accelerating materials discovery for carbon ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm is reshaping how scientists approach some of the most complex materials known, enabling ...

While the billion-dollar question is about when quantum computing will become commercially viable, one of the problems being tackled at the moment is how to make the ...

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all. I’m standing in front ...

Quantum computers still can’t do much. Almost every time researchers have found something the high-tech machines should one day excel at, a classical algorithm comes along that can do it just as well ...

On the other front, theorists are refining quantum algorithms: recent work shows the resources needed to break today's cryptography may be far lower than earlier estimates. The net result? The day ...

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.
