We speak to Rob Akers, director for computing programmes at UK Atomic Energy Institute, about its new artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer.

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all.

Quantum computers could solve certain problems that would take traditional classical computers an impractically long time to solve. At the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they’ve been awarded the highest honor in computer science.

When the commercial, scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing era really begins, when it becomes widely available, it will ...
