When a quantum computer processes data, it must translate it into understandable quantum data. Algorithms that carry out this 'quantum compilation' typically optimize one target at a time. However, a team has created an algorithm capable of optimizing ...

Google researchers found certain quantum computers could break the encryption protecting the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

Quantum computers still can’t do much. Almost every time researchers have found something the high-tech machines should one day excel at, a classical algorithm comes along that can do it just as well on a regular computer. One notable exception?

Quantum-inspired algorithms can simulate turbulent fluid flows on a classical computer much faster than existing tools, slashing computation times from several days on a large supercomputer to just hours on a regular laptop. This could improve weather ...

The IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) has published a beautiful book, good to read and also a substantial addition to any executive office: the fourth edition of The Quantum Decade. The 168-page tome written by over 70 professionals in every industry ...

Conventional quantum algorithms are not feasible for solving combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) with constraints in the operation time of quantum computers. To address this issue, researchers have developed a novel algorithm called post-processing ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like ...

A few years back, Google made waves when it claimed that some of its hardware had achieved quantum supremacy, performing operations that would be effectively impossible to simulate on a classical computer. That claim didn’t hold up especially well, as ...

DAEJEON, South Korea (October 14, 2024) – Qunova Computing, a developer of quantum software applications designed to bring quantum computing to the chemical, pharmaceutical and industrial engineering industries, today announces the results from a series ...

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalized a set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand cyberattacks from quantum computers. These algorithms are part of the first completed standards ...
