IBM’s new 120-qubit experiment marks a leap forward, advancing technology that could one day crack Bitcoin’s encryption.

QuamCore Ltd, a startup working to develop a quantum computer with one million qubits, today announced that it has raised $26 million in early-stage funding. Sentinel Global led the Series A round ...

Qubits differ from classical bits, which are coded as only 0 or 1. A qubit can be a combination of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. One way to think of it is as a coin spinning between a 0 and a 1 axis.

IBM scientists entangled 120 qubits in a single coherent “cat state,” a record-breaking feat in quantum computing.

Scientists have recently unveiled a groundbreaking quantum bit, or qubit, design that promises to revolutionize quantum computing. This new development could significantly enhance the stability and ...

Nearly 50 years ago, physicists floated a bold idea: our universe might be stuck in a false vacuum. This state feels stable, but deep down, it's not. Over enormous timescales, it could suddenly tip ...

While the concept of quantum computing has been discussed for more than 40 years, only recently have experiments indicated that a practical quantum computer may be possible. Recent developments in ...

Computer scientist Peter Gutmann tells The Reg why it's 'bollocks' The US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has been pushing for the development of post-quantum cryptographic ...

Today’s quantum computers are fundamentally impractical. But with a more resilient qubit, scientists believe they can unlock the technology’s extraordinary potential. Soon, they hope to prove it.

One often-repeated example illustrates the mind-boggling potential of quantum computing: A machine with 300 quantum bits could simultaneously store more information than the number of particles in the ...
