Eighty years ago, physicist Erwin Schrödinger asked a deceptively simple question: What is life? In a series of lectures in Dublin, later published as a short book, he proposed that the principles of ...

Even as quantum computing advances steadily, it will not replace classical computers in the near future. Most current systems ...

Everyone in quantum computing agrees that error correction will be the key to doing a broad range of useful calculations. But early every company in the field seems ...

Quantum computing represents a paradigm shift from classical computation by harnessing inherent quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform operations beyond the scope of ...

To build a large-scale quantum computer that works, scientists and engineers need to overcome the spontaneous errors that quantum bits, or qubits, create as they operate. Scientists encode these ...

Microsoft has declared the end of an era of noisy, error-prone quantum machines as it channels its vast resources towards building a fault-tolerant quantum computer designed to work with artificial ...

One of the questions everyone involved in quantum computing is asked is, “When will the technology become commercially viable?” This very question was posed to a panel of experts at the inaugural ...

Quantum computing is often heralded as the next frontier, with projections of hundreds of billions in economic value fueling intense investment and hype. Yet savvy business and government leaders ...
