Scientists prove 'quantum theory' that could lead to ultrafast magnetic computing
Superfast magnetic memory devices are possible after scientists engineer way to use lasers to magnetize non-magnetic materials.
'Quantum-inspired' laser computing is more effective than both supercomputing and quantum computing, startup claims
The desktop-sized LPU100 eschews traditional electronics and qubits in favor of lasers, and it can reportedly perform complex AI calculations in nanoseconds.
China creates its largest ever quantum computing chip — and it could be key to building the nation's own 'quantum cloud'
China’s supersized superconducting chip looks to match the performance of industry leaders like IBM and will be used to help scale up the performance of quantum computers globally.
'World's purest silicon' could lead to 1st million-qubit quantum computing chips
Scientists engineer the 'purest ever silicon' to build reliable qubits that can be manufactured to the size of a pinhead on a chip and power million-qubit quantum computers in the future.
New algorithm slashes time to run most sophisticated climate models by 10-fold
Climate models can be a million lines of code long and can take months to run on supercomputers. A new algorithm has dramatically shortened that time.
Quantum computing breakthrough could happen with just hundreds, not millions, of qubits using new error-correction system
Scientists have designed a physical qubit that behaves as an error-correcting "logical qubit," and now they think they can scale it up to make a useful quantum computer using a few hundred.
Future quantum computers could use bizarre 'error-free' qubit design built on forgotten research from the 1990s
Qubits can be made by floating a suspended electron over a pool of liquid helium rather than being embedded them a solid-state crystal — which leads to impurities and errors.
Weird magnetic 'skyrmion' quasiparticle could be used as a bit in advanced computing memory
Scientists want to replace electrons with so-called 'nanobubbles' — or skyrmions — to store data more densely and efficiently in advanced memory components that would replace RAM and flash storage.
