Scientists build 'most accurate' quantum computing chip ever thanks to new silicon-based computing architecture
By Tristan Greene published
Researchers say they have created the world's first scalable atomic quantum processor that achieves record-breaking 99.99% fidelity.

Record-breaking feat means information lasts 15 times longer in new kind of quantum processor than those used by Google and IBM
By Tristan Greene published
The novel design for the new qubit uses the chemical element tantalum in tandem with a special silicon substrate, creating what researchers say are the most coherent superconducting qubits to date.

Breakthrough 3D wiring architecture enables 10,000-qubit quantum processors
By Tristan Greene published
The novel 3D wiring architecture and chip fabrication method enable quantum processing units containing 10,000 qubits to fit in a smaller space than today's 100-qubit chips.

New semiconductor could allow classical and quantum computing on the same chip, thanks to superconductivity breakthrough
By Anna Demming published
Researchers believe they can fit 25 million Josephson junctions — a useful component for quantum computing — on one two-inch wafer with this approach.

Quantum computing will make cryptography obsolete. But computer scientists are working to make them unhackable.
By Joanna Thompson published
When quantum computers become commonplace, current cryptographic systems will become obsolete. Scientists are racing to get ahead of the problem and keep our data secure.

IBM unveils two new quantum processors — including one that offers a blueprint for fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2029
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
IBM has released two new complex quantum processors alongside a new framework that would allow us to track the first demonstration of quantum advantage.

Exotic 'time crystals' could be used as memory in quantum computers, promising research finds
By Anna Demming published
Experiments show that a time crystal based on magnons can interact with mechanical waves without being destroyed.

'This is easily the most powerful quantum computer on Earth': Scientists unveil Helios, a record-breaking quantum system
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
Scientists have built a 98-qubit machine that they say performs better than any other quantum computer in the world. They've used it to gain new insights into superconducting physics.

Google's breakthrough 'Quantum Echoes' algorithm pushes us closer to useful quantum computing — running 13,000 times faster than on a supercomputer
By Keumars Afifi-Sabet published
The new quantum computing algorithm, called "Quantum Echoes," is the first that can be independently verified by running it on another quantum computer.
