A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the ...

Quantum computing is the next big thing in tech, but you don't need to invest in any risky start-ups to profit from it.

Encryption—the process of sending a scrambled message that only the intended recipient’s device can decode—allows private and public sectors alike to safeguard information. Traditional encryption uses ...

Quantum computing is still in the early stages of development, but it has proven to be an extremely powerful tool for various applications. While most demonstrations of their efficiency are limited to ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve ...

Rigetti Computing is pursuing a more universal gate-based quantum system that theoretically should be able to solve more complex computational problems. The company uses a modular chip architecture ...

Quantum computing promises extraordinary power, but that same power may expose new security weaknesses. Quantum computers are expected to deliver dramatic gains in processing speed and capability, ...

Imagine the tap of a card that bought you a cup of coffee this morning also let a hacker halfway across the world access your bank account and buy themselves whatever they liked. Now imagine it wasn’t ...

Quick: what’s 4 + 5? Nine right? Slightly less quick: what’s five plus four? Still nine, right? Okay, let’s wait a few seconds. Bear with me. Feel free to have a quick stretch. You’ve just performed a ...

A century ago, a group of scientists in Europe began developing a theory to explain how the world’s smallest particles interact. Their discoveries underpinned a new branch of physics and laid the ...
