Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create.

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chicago has quickly emerged as a hub for quantum computing, with the state of Illinois and technology companies pouring millions of dollars into developing a campus to build the world’s first ...

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum ...

Quantum computers are shifting from lab curiosities into real machines that can already outperform classical systems on narrow tasks, and the stakes are no longer theoretical. The technology promises ...
