Can a handful of atoms outperform a much larger digital neural network on a real-world task? The answer may be yes. In a study published in Physical Review Letters, a team led by Prof. Peng Xinhua and ...

Quantum computing may be a closer threat for bitcoin than previously thought. In a Tuesday blog, Google researchers said quantum computers may break the encryption that keeps bitcoin and other digital ...

In Colorado, a machine the size of a small car holds single atoms suspended in an electromagnetic cage. Helios, the most advanced quantum computer ever built, manipulates them with lasers to solve ...

The UK government has committed to investing £1bn over the next four years to enable the country to win the race to deliver quantum computing at scale. The funding is made up of over £500m dedicated ...

The new architecture shows how quantum processors could work alongside classical HPC, creating hybrid environments to tackle scientific problems neither can solve alone. Quantum computing has moved ...

Qubits, the heart of quantum computers, can change performance in fractions of a second — but until now, scientists couldn’t see it happening. Researchers at NBI have built a real-time monitoring ...

Quantum technology has long been a buzzworthy topic at industry conferences, but practical applications have often seemed far off. However, Joseph Lukens, an Associate Professor at Purdue University, ...

Quantum computing has long been a distant, theoretical threat to blockchain cryptography. But over the past few months, that calculus has shifted rapidly. While the Bitcoin community has been debating ...

Microsoft released new open-source quantum development tools, expanding the Quantum Development Kit. VS Code and GitHub Copilot now play a more central role in ...

Jefferies strategist Christopher Wood has dropped Bitcoin from his Greed & Fear portfolio, citing quantum computing as a potential existential threat to its cryptography. Christopher Wood, global head ...

Media coverage of the threat posed by quantum computing usually identifies cryptocurrencies as a key area of classical cryptography that will be effortlessly broken when the technology hits the ...
