A team of Harvard physicists built the first-ever quantum computing machine that can operate continuously without restarting, ...

The Babylonians used separate combinations of two symbols to represent every single number from 1 to 59. That sounds pretty confusing, doesn’t it? Our decimal system seems simple by comparison, with ...

(1) A regular computer. The term binary computer may refer to a "classical" computer, meaning "not" a quantum computer. See quantum computing. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

One often-repeated example illustrates the mind-boggling potential of quantum computing: A machine with 300 quantum bits ...

Our mission is to deliver unbiased, fact-based reporting that holds power to account and exposes the truth. Whether $5 or $50, every contribution counts. Scientists have made a quantum computer that ...

Do you know how to read binary codes? Pretty impressive if you do, since they’re a computer’s language. Binary coding is a system of counting that boils down to two digits—one (1) and zero (0) that ...

The decimal system of counting is part of our language, math, and the measurement units used by all right-thinking nations. It's so deeply engrained in how we operate that it's often difficult to ...

The phenomenal success of our integrated circuits managed to obscure an awkward fact: they're not always the best way to solve problems. The features of modern computers—binary operations, separated ...
