The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...

The technology that already surrounds us today — smartphones, computers and the internet — would be inconceivable without quantum physics, with many other components relying on quantum concepts. But ...

Noise is annoying, whether you're trying to sleep or exploit the laws of quantum physics. Although noise from environmental disturbances will always be with us, a team including scientists at the ...

Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also have wave-like properties. These properties can be represented using the wave ...

Quantum computers may be able to run useful algorithms more quickly, thanks to a new quantum router that helps data get to the right place faster. Traditional computers avoid becoming slow when faced ...

Quantum technology can process an enormous amount of data and solve complex problems in seconds rather than decades. Remarkably, quantum technology first appeared in the early 1900s. It originated ...

The world of quantum physics is already mysterious, but what happens when that strange realm of subatomic particles is put under immense pressure? Observing quantum effects under pressure has proven ...

Teleportation. Imagine instantly transporting to a remote location like moving from your home to the office with no commute whatsoever. It's technology you always see incorporated in sci-fi media, ...

IonQ and D-Wave are working on integrating their quantum technologies with traditional computing. Nvidia bridges the gap to create a hybrid quantum computing approach. There could be multiple winners ...

Nvidia is leading the charge on hybrid systems that combine quantum computing with advanced traditional computers. Microsoft has created a quantum computing processor it says has advanced the industry ...

Imagine you are out on a walk. Outside the house in the fresh air you may have left the walls behind, but even so there are boundaries that limit where you can wander. In a city, you are constrained ...

Quantum stocks climbed Tuesday as anticipated interest rate cuts and a broader bullish move in tech stocks provided a supportive backdrop for innovation sectors like quantum computing. Here's a look ...
