The math behind encryption will be no match for quantum computers, forcing organizations to rethink cybersecurity. Here’s ...

Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) in the US turned to an often overlooked particle for storing and processing quantum information to overcome the fragility of quantum ...

IBM and University of Chicago researchers have completed a quantum computation that leading classical methods could not ...

The only snag was that “Shor’s algorithm”, as it is now known, required something that at the time only existed on university blackboards: a quantum computer. These days, quantum computers—which ...

The hardest idea in quantum mechanics to hold in a non-physicist’s head is that a thing can be in two states at once. Not ...

Irrational numbers have underpinned quantum mechanics for a century. Removing them could eliminate its strangest features and ...

Medical imaging methods such as ultrasound and MRI are often affected by background noise, which can introduce blurring and obscure fine anatomical details in the images. For clinicians who depend on ...

The uncomfortable secret of digital security isn’t that quantum computers are coming, it’s that nobody can prove today’s locks will work when they do. Yoon Auh, founder and CEO of BOLTS Technologies, ...

Scientists may have uncovered the missing piece of quantum computing by reviving a particle once dismissed as useless. This particle, called the neglecton, could give fragile quantum systems the full ...
