Quantum computing has long occupied the edges of our collective imagination – frequently mentioned, rarely understood. For many, it remains a distant prospect rather than an immediate concern. But ...

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

AI is the technology trend of the moment—but what’s 10 years down the road? Some experts say quantum computing will be the next game-changer. WSJ visited IBM’s quantum computing lab to learn why.

Microsoft team led by UC Santa Barbara physicists unveils first-of-its-kind topological qubit, paving the way for a more fault-tolerant quantum computer In a leap forward for quantum computing, a ...

The field of quantum computing, like qubits themselves, exists in a state of indeterminacy, with multiple companies making big claims about wildly different approaches. On Thursday, DARPA—the Defense ...

Researchers have unveiled a new quantum material that could make quantum computers much more stable by using magnetism to protect delicate qubits from environmental disturbances. Unlike traditional ...

Quantum entanglement, the invisible connection between particles that entwines them in such a way that they act as one, has fascinated scientists for decades. It is also one of the most important ...
