The new type of transistor, known as the "cryo-CMOS transistor," is optimized to operate at temperatures under 1 K and emit near-zero heat.

Scientists in Australia say they've cracked a key hurdle facing the the development of scalable quantum computers and practical quantum data storage.

D-Wave says its new Advantage2 processor, which is designed for complex applications in AI, optimization and data science, is faster and more accurate than its existing 5,000-qubit system.

When combined with Qiskit software tools, the 156-qubit R2 Heron quantum processor can perform 5,000 two-qubit gate operations — double the previous best — meaning it's ready for complex quantum computations, IBM scientists say.

New superconducting material paves the way for the next stage in quantum computing

Quantum computers are here. But could we ever build a quantum laptop?

Quantum computers will one day outpace the fastest supercomputers on the planet, but what will they be used to accomplish?

The new study models how light spreads at the nanometer scale to understand how energy moves between rare earth emitters and the quantum defects within a solid material.
