Neither classical nor quantum: This computer lets light solve complex calculations
For decades, the solution to harder problems has been ‘build a bigger computer’— but ...
While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a powerful alternative for addressing some very practical ...
A team of researchers at Queen's University has developed a powerful new kind of computing machine that uses light to take on ...
Published in Nature, the study details the first large-scale demonstration of a photonic Ising machine operating without the ...
McGill and Queen's University researchers have built an improved version of a computer that uses light to solve extremely hard problems more quickly ...
Researchers at Queen’s University have built a new kind of computer that uses light instead of electricity—and it works at room temperature, stays stable for hours, and runs incredibly fast. The ...
Quantum chaos describes chaotic classical dynamical systems in terms of quantum theory, but simulations of these systems are limited by computational resources. However, one team seems to have found a ...
D-Wave Quantum ( (QBTS)) has issued an update. On January 6, 2026, D-Wave Quantum Inc. announced it had achieved an industry-first breakthrough in gate-model quantum computing by successfully ...
A new year, a new quantum computing breakthrough: D-Wave, one of the quantum industry’s rising stars, announced “an industry-first breakthrough” on Tuesday as it works to make quantum computing ...
A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.
