Google published a paper on March 31 that states that Bitcoin's cryptography could be impacted by quantum computing sooner than previously stated.
Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new approach for reducing the errors that riddle today's rudimentary quantum computers.
Its Majorana 1 chip, made of a new material, can perform high-level computing tasks with greater speed and accuracy, Microsoft says. Samantha Kelly is a freelance writer with a focus on consumer technology, AI, social media, Big Tech, emerging trends and ...
Quantum Art's new QPU could be both significantly smaller and also faster than competing quantum architectures. How can we reinvent quantum computing? Perhaps by shrinking it down and making it small: really small. And, surprisingly for a field that is all ...
Teleportation is a reality in 2025 — well, at least for quantum computers. In February 2025, Oxford University demonstrated the teleportation of quantum data from one independent quantum processor to another via quantum entanglement, a feat that had ...
