Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational ...

Quantum computing’s edge looked closer after a hard physics problem seemed beyond classical machines. But a new result shows ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform classical systems on certain tasks. Over the past few decades, researchers ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these ...

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 ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...
