There's a lot of interest in quantum computing in the banking world, but outside specialized teams at large institutions that have invested in it, there is a lack of clarity on what it is, how it ...

Information is the lifeblood of the financial services industry, which means the faster and more accurately players can analyze complex information, the more they stand to gain. That’s why the ...

You might be familiar with the qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum information. As its name suggests, a qubit in a quantum computer performs the same function as a bit in a classical computer, with ...

Jacob Benestad in front of an experimental setup in the laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. This setup is similar to the one used during the group's experiments at the ...

But for the purposes of understanding how quantum computers work, that “spin” is better thought of as an electron pointing either up or down, as physicist John Gribbin explains in his very handy ...

What if the most complex problems plaguing industries today—curing diseases, optimizing global supply chains, or even securing digital communication—could be solved in a fraction of the time it takes ...

Quantum hardware has finally crossed a psychological threshold: it is no longer a science project in search of a purpose, it is a working tool that large companies and governments are starting to use.

Get the latest federal technology news delivered to your inbox. Quantum science, and especially its most popular offshoot, quantum computing, have come a long way in a fairly short period of time.

Traditional computers—be it an Apple Watch or the most powerful supercomputer—rely on tiny silicon transistors that work like on-off switches to encode bits of data. Each circuit can have one of two ...

I see three investment lanes for quantum computing: pure plays like IonQ (IONQ) and Rigetti (RGTI); the "Magnificent Seven" giants with quantum divisions; and infrastructure picks-and-shovels. Which ...

Quantum computers need extreme cold to work, but the very systems that keep them cold also create noise that can destroy fragile quantum information. Scientists in Sweden have now flipped that problem ...
