The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

The announcement that Saudi Arabia's first quantum computer is now operational is most remarkable because of how uncinematic ...

A pair of photons enters an optical maze, and sometimes they leave as something new. Not new in the everyday sense, since ...

New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...

Researchers at the University of Tuebingen, working with an international team, have developed an artificial intelligence that designs entirely new, sometimes unusual, experiments in quantum physics ...

A new class of quantum-engineered photocatalytic material can split ordinary water into clean hydrogen fuel using nothing but ...

The new method, which uses quantum dots, performs as well as or better than current infrared light sources while being much ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

Duplicating the information held in quantum computers was thought to be impossible thanks to the no-cloning theorem, but researchers have now found a workaround ...

Long confined to theoretical labs and sci-fi thrillers, quantum computing is fast emerging as a real-world technology with ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

Using the Perlmutter supercomputer, researchers achieved a record-scale simulation of a quantum microchip to refine and validate next-generation quantum hardware designs. Researchers from (Berkeley ...
