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.

Google has made a significant leap in quantum computing with the unveiling of the Quantum Echoes algorithm, a revolutionary development that outpaces the world’s leading supercomputers by a staggering 13,000 times on a specific molecular task. This ...

Michele Mosca of the Institute for Quantum Computing and Dept. of Combinatorics & Optimization, University of Waterloo and St. Jerome’s University, and Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics reviews Quantum Algorithms. Aug, 2008 [71 pages] Some of ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a peak to climb—and then they must develop a strategy ...

Critics of quantum computers have argued that the supposed advantage these machines have over regular computers have often relied on tests involving pointless tasks. Now, the team at Google Quantum AI has developed a new algorithm the company says that ...

Performing complex algorithms on quantum computers will eventually require access to tens of thousands of hardware qubits. For most of the technologies being developed, this creates a problem: It’s difficult to create hardware that can hold that many qubits.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -Google said it has developed a computer algorithm that points the way to practical applications for quantum computing and will be able to generate unique data for use with artificial intelligence. The new algorithm called Quantum ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform classical systems on certain tasks. Over the past few decades, researchers have worked to rigorously demonstrate such advantages ...

Google claims to have developed a quantum computer algorithm that is 13,000 times faster than the most powerful supercomputers. This would bring the technology another step closer to real-world applications in medicine and material science within the next ...
