Experts say the emerging tech can dramatically accelerate advances in drug discovery, diagnostics and precision medicine.

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

Sometimes a visually compelling metaphor is all you need to get an otherwise complicated idea across. In the summer of 2001, a Tulane physics professor named John P.

For the past year, I kept bringing the same story to my editor: quantum computers are on the edge of becoming useful for scientific discovery. Of course, that has always been the goal. The idea of ...

The promise of quantum computers appears to be that they will upend modern computing as we know it. With exceptional computational power, they’ll be performing feats unimaginable for any classical ...

A new ultra-fast monitoring system reveals that quantum computer qubits can change from stable to unstable in mere milliseconds.

Quantum computers are shifting from lab curiosities into real machines that can already outperform classical systems on narrow tasks, and the stakes are no longer theoretical. The technology promises ...

Governments and technology companies are fueling an urgent, high-stakes race to develop quantum power, which promises to revolutionize- and potentially compromise - global security Quantum computing ...

A new experiment using Google’s Sycamore quantum processor has taken a bold step toward testing ideas from quantum gravity. For the first time, researchers successfully sent quantum information ...
