Australia may spend hundreds of millions of dollars on quantum computing research. Are we chasing a mirage?
Quantum computers are proving extremely difficult to build, and there is no guarantee they will live up to their designers’ hopes.
In the future, everyone might use quantum computers
Computers were once considered high-end technology, only accessible to scientists and trained professionals. Today, almost everyone has one. Will quantum computing follow the same path?
What is quantum advantage? A quantum computing scientist explains an approaching milestone marking the arrival of extremely powerful computers
Several companies have made quantum computers, but these early models have yet to demonstrate quantum advantage: the ability to outstrip ordinary supercomputers.
Why are scientists so excited about a recently claimed quantum computing milestone?
A leaked research paper shows that quantum computer researchers may have overtaken conventional ones for the first time
A quantum computing future is unlikely, due to random hardware errors
Google claims quantum supremacy – IBM says not so fast. One researcher explains why he doesn’t see quantum computers outpacing classical computers any time soon … and maybe not ever.
