Latest about Quantum Computing

World's first silicon-based quantum computer is small enough to plug into a regular power socket
By Alan Bradley published
An Irish startup has created the world's first silicon-based quantum computer — it can still integrate seamlessly with classical computing in data centers.

Quantum 'miracle material' can store information in a single dimension thanks to newly discovered magnetic switching
By Peter Ray Allison published
Scientists have developed a method for storing quantum information in a single dimension, thereby reducing decoherence, using chromium sulfide bromide.

Scientists reveal the first operating system for quantum computers
By Peter Ray Allison published
QNodeOS is the world's first operating system designed for quantum computers and will enable connections between different types of quantum computers.

New benchmark will reveal when quantum computers overtake the fastest supercomputers, scientists say
By Alan Bradley published
A new benchmark performed on chips from five different vendors has indicated how we can measure QPU performance as quantum computers become more advanced and useful.

'Squeezing' Schrödinger's cat-inspired qubits could lead to more reliable quantum computing
By Peter Ray Allison published
A new technique improves the reliability of cat qubits by squeezing their probabilistic states. This could improve their reliability and lifetime, and pave the way for accurate quantum computing.

Scientists observe new quantum phase that could have major implications for quantum computing
By Alan Bradley published
The exotic quantum phase, predicted over half a century ago, could lead to advances in quantum computing, sensors and communication technology.

What is quantum superposition?
By Jess Thomson last updated
Quantum superposition is a phenomenon in which a tiny particle can be in two states at the same time — but only if it is not being directly observed.

Physicists create hottest Schrödinger's cat ever in quantum breakthrough
By Ben Turner published
Physicists have replicated the famous Schrödinger's cat experiment at hotter temperatures than ever before. The breakthrough is a small but significant step toward quantum computers that can work at normal temperatures.
