Just a few years ago, many researchers in quantum computing thought it would take several decades to develop machines that ...

By using controlled microwave noise, researchers created a quantum refrigerator capable of operating as a cooler, heat engine, or amplifier. This approach offers a new way to manage heat directly ...

Physicist Jay Gambetta, at IBM’s lab in Yorktown Heights, New York, explains how microwaves orchestrate a solution on a quantum chip: “Think of each qubit as a line in music. You’re creating notes.” ...

Quantum computers struggle because their qubits are incredibly easy to disrupt, especially during calculations. A new ...

John Martinis has already revolutionised quantum computing twice. Now, he is working on another radical rethink of the technology that could deliver machines with unrivalled capabilities ...

Iceberg Quantum was founded by Felix Thomsen, Larry Cohen, and Sam Smith, who met during their PhDs at the University of Sydney. The company is backed by Blackbird and LocalGlobe, with DCVC joining ...

For the past year, I kept bringing the same story to my editor: quantum computers are on the edge of becoming useful for scientific discovery. Of course, that has always been the goal. The idea of ...

Can quantum become even bigger than AI? And will it help soften the AI bubble as it seems set to burst? Experts share their views.
