This advancement in quantum algorithms could help accelerate some of the most computationally intensive simulations

A University of Sydney quantum physicist has developed a new approach to quantum error correction that could significantly reduce the number of physical qubits required to build large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers.

This team effort converges expertise to leverage quantum computing for an important, practical outcome.”— Marco Cerezo,

Google's new whitepaper says it could take only minutes for a quantum system to crack Bitcoin.

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.

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all.

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 ...
