Explainer: quantum computation and communication technology
What is a quantum technology? Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that explains the behaviour of matter and energy at the atomic scale. So does “quantum technology’’ just mean technology based on…
Australian researchers use a quantum computer to simulate how real molecules behave
Quantum computers are getting closer and closer to being useful in the real world.
How splitting sound might lead to a new kind of quantum computer
Scientists show they can create quantum superpositions of sound particles, pointing to the potential for mechanical quantum computers.
Microsoft just claimed a quantum breakthrough. A quantum physicist explains what it means
A new “topological” approach to quantum computing may address longstanding challenges with the technology.
Get used to it: quantum computing will bring immense processing possibilities
Quantum computing may still have the status of a rank outsider, but it’s making gains.
From self‑driving cars to military surveillance: quantum computing can help secure the future of AI systems
Quantum machine learning models could help us create AI systems that are almost impenetrable by hackers. But in the hands of hackers, the same technology could wreak havoc.
‘An ever‑ticking clock’: we made a ‘time crystal’ inside a quantum computer
Like a coffee you can’t finish stirring, a ‘time crystal’ is a strange quantum state of matter than never settles down to equilibrium.
Quantum computers could arrive sooner if we build them with traditional silicon technology
Manufacturing quantum computers would be a lot easier with existing technology than the exotic components currently used to build them.
Quantum computing, the new frontier of finance
On October 23 Google announced that it built a quantum computer thousands of times faster than classic computers. This could have immense impacts on finance, cryptography and other fields.
