Physicists have invented a new type of analog quantum computer that can tackle hard physics problems that the most powerful digital supercomputers cannot solve. New research published in Nature ...

Predicting the behavior of many interacting quantum particles is a complicated process but is key to harness quantum computing for real-world applications. Researchers have developed a method for ...

As quantum computing develops, scientists are working to identify tasks for which quantum computers have a clear advantage over classical computers. So far, researchers have only pinpointed a handful ...

This is an updated version of a story first published on Dec. 3, 2023. The original video can be viewed here. Artificial intelligence is the magic of the moment but this is a story about what's next, ...

Quantum computers promise to revolutionize our ability to solve problems thanks to their unique properties. However, a team of researchers has just discovered a computable task that appears impossible ...

Scott Pelley, one of the most experienced and awarded journalists today, has been reporting stories for 60 Minutes since 2004. The 2024-25 season is his 21st on the broadcast. Scott has won half of ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

(Nanowerk News) If you know the atoms that compose a particular molecule or solid material, the interactions between those atoms can be determined computationally, by solving quantum mechanical ...

Rigetti was selected by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum algorithms for solving combinatorial optimization problems as part of the ...

From subatomic particles to complex molecules, quantum systems hold the key to understanding how the universe works. But there's a catch: when you try to model these systems, that complexity quickly ...
