How we created the first ever blueprint for a real quantum computer
Many scientists thought it was impossible, but one team has finally done it. They say operating their quantum computer is just like playing a game of Pacman.
How a simple crystal could help pave the way to full‑scale quantum computing
So far researchers have only been able to control a handful of qubits — the basic units of information in a quantum computer. A new approach could help them control millions at a time.
Australia just made a billion‑dollar bet on building the world’s first ‘useful’ quantum computer in Brisbane. Will it pay off?
A huge investment in building an unproven quantum computer may help local science and industry, but the results are far from a sure thing.
Quantum computers could expose our digital secrets – but there are much better reasons to build them
More profitable applications for quantum computers are eclipsing the drive to break encryption.
How long before quantum computers can benefit society? That’s Google’s US$5 million question
Quantum computing has huge promise from a technical perspective, but the practical benefits are less clear.
Quantum computers can accelerate the transition to net zero power grids
Researchers are studying how quantum computers can help optimise net-zero power grid operation and expansion planning.
A quantum computing startup says it is already making millions of light‑powered chips
Photonic quantum computing is so back.
Quantum computing just got hotter: 1 degree above absolute zero
Quantum computers that work at slightly higher temperatures could be cheaper and more accessible.
Is a quantum‑cryptography apocalypse imminent?
The news that a certain class of cryptographic algorithms just got 20 times easier to hack has set hares running.
