University of Iowa researchers have discovered a method to "purify" photons, an advance that could make optical quantum ...

Imagine a future where quantum computers supercharge machine learning—training models in seconds, extracting insights from ...

Astrophysicist Paul Sutter explains Quantum Mechanics - the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of ...

If you’re an avid nonfiction reader the last 25 years, the name Kate Shoup may already ring a bell. Inspired by watching her ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

The first processor, called IBM Quantum Nighthawk, is a 120-qubit chip that can process quantum calculations that are 30% more complex than anything the company's previous QPU (R2 Heron) could handle.

Some critics argue the threat posed by quantum computers is overblown, including Strategy chairman Michael Saylor, who has once called it a marketing ploy to pump quantum-branded tokens. Bitcoin OG ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

Quantum computers based on ions or atoms have one major advantage: The qubits themselves aren’t manufactured, and there’s no device-to-device variability among atoms. Every atom is the same and should ...

Infleqtion expects to go public in late 2025 or early 2026. Its products are in use by Nvidia, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), NASA, and the U.K. government. Thanks to its revenue stream from ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1974, five years before he wrote his Pulitzer Prize–winning book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, Douglas Hofstadter was ...
