'Like a master Tetris player': Scientists invent quantum virtual machines — they'll slash turnaround times from days to hours
By Tristan Greene published
New quantum computing system allows multiple users to run programs simultaneously using virtual machines.

Scientists use quantum machine learning to create semiconductors for the first time – and it could transform how chips are made
By Becca Caddy published
Researchers have found a way to make the chip design and manufacturing process much easier — by tapping into a hybrid blend of artificial intelligence and quantum computing.

Scientists hit quantum computer error rate of 0.000015% — a world record achievement that could lead to smaller and faster machines
By Tristan Greene published
The record-breaking achievement could lead to practical, utility-scale quantum computers that are both smaller and faster.

This obscure, 80-year-old machine might be the key to unlocking the full potential of AI today
By Martin Rudorfer published
Opinion Leading American engineer and scientist Vannevar Bush thought that the memex was the answer to information nightmare of the 1940s.

Scientists achieve 'magic state' quantum computing breakthrough 20 years in the making
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
Scientists demonstrate a process called "magic state distillation" in logical qubits for the first time, meaning we can now build quantum computers that are both error-free and more powerful than supercomputers.

Small, room-temperature quantum computers that use light on the horizon after breakthrough, scientists say
By Owen Hughes published
Scientists say they’ve cracked a key challenge in scalable quantum hardware after generating an error-correcting, light-based qubit on a chip for the first time.

'Quantum AI' algorithms already outpace the fastest supercomputers, study says
By Tristan Greene published
Researchers have successfully demonstrated quantum speedup in kernel-based machine learning.

Millions of qubits on a single quantum processor now possible after cryogenic breakthrough
By Owen Hughes published
Scientists in Australia have developed a quantum control chip that removes a key obstacle to getting qubits into practical, real-world computing systems.

Breakthrough quantum computer could solve problems 200 times faster than a supercomputer
By Owen Hughes published
Scientists have built a compact physical qubit with built-in error correction, and now say it could be scaled into a 1,000-qubit machine that is small enough to fit inside a data center. They plan to release this machine in 2031.
