The world’s most accurate quantum computer has reportedly set a new record in quantum ...

Mistakes happen — especially in quantum computers. The fragile quantum bits, or qubits, that make up the machines are notoriously error-prone, but now scientists have shown that they can fix the flubs ...

Researchers have demonstrated a type of quantum eraser. The physicists show that they can pinpoint and correct for mistakes in quantum computing systems known as 'erasure' errors. Quantum computers of ...

Google LLC has achieved a major breakthrough in its efforts to build a quantum computer that can be used for practical applications. The company said today its discovery will help it to overcome the ...

Making quantum computers error-proof is one of the biggest challenges currently facing the technology. Researchers at Google Quantum AI have now demonstrated one way to do so more efficiently. Their ...

There’s a fun bit of etymological folklore that claims the use of the word “bug,” as in a computer bug, alludes to an actual insect that crawled inside what was, at the time, one of the largest and ...

Quantum computing breakthroughs from IonQ, D-Wave, QuEra, Alice & Bob, and others in the last six months, with dates, achievements, and their impact on error-corrected, scalable quantum systems. May 7 ...

There’s widespread agreement that most useful quantum computing will have to wait for the development of error-corrected qubits. Error correction involves ...

A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded some of my lab servers to Windows Server 2016. Although the upgrade process seemed to work flawlessly, my hectic schedule prevented me from doing an exhaustive ...

Quantum computers of the future hold promise in solving all sorts of problems. For example, they could lead to more sustainable materials and new medicines, and even crack the hardest problems in ...

While errors are normally hard to spot in quantum devices, researchers have shown that, with careful control, some errors can cause atoms to glow. Researchers used this capability to execute a quantum ...
