A new record has been set for extremely precise control over qubits, the building blocks of quantum computers. This advance could lead to quantum computers that make fewer errors – if it can be ...

Microsoft announced Wednesday that it has invented an entirely new kind of quantum computer. Its new quantum chip, Majorana 1, is a quantum processor analogous to transistors in classical computers’ ...

Researchers have invented a breakthrough technique for manufacturing highly purified silicon that brings powerful quantum computers a big step closer. Researchers at the Universities of Melbourne and ...

Chalmers engineers built a pulse-driven qubit amplifier that’s ten times more efficient, stays cool, and safeguards quantum states—key for bigger, better quantum machines. Researchers at Chalmers ...

Transistors are the fundamental building blocks behind today's electronic revolution, powering everything from smartphones to powerful servers by controlling the flow of electrical currents. But ...

As the name suggests, this new type of computing relies on quantum mechanics — including what Albert Einstein referred to as the “spooky action at a distance” that allows tiny particles of matter to ...

Announcements about quantum computers are multiplying, yet this technology is still in its infancy, comparable to the era when transistors were replacing vacuum tubes. Researchers from several ...

Quantum computing might seem like “just another” new technology, like the internet, cloud computing and AI. In fact, it’s something rather different – more similar to the leap forward from the ...

Quantum computing might sound like the kind of sci-fi plot device used to explain how a character traveled through time or shrank to the size of an ant. But the technology is very real, and Silicon ...
