Quantum Computing

We’re taking you inside MIT.nano, a clean laboratory facility that is critical to nanoscale research, from microelectronics to medical nanotechnology.

Scientists in China have transmitted encrypted images a record 12,900 kilometers, paving the way for quantum messaging anywhere on Earth

“Qudits,” the multi-dimensional cousins of qubits, could make quantum computers more efficient and less prone to error

D-Wave’s fresh claim that it has achieved “quantum advantage” has sparked criticism of the company—and of the scientific process itself

The company says it has solved the first problem of scientific relevance with a quantum processor faster than could be done with classical computers—but others disagree

Schrödinger’s cat is scratching its head over the “topological” qubit that is causing a buzz in quantum computing. We should be, too

With its ‘topological’ quantum computers, Microsoft aims to reach useful scales faster than competing technologies

Physicists are finding new ways to model false vacuum decay, a terrifying, albeit remote, cosmic endgame

Google’s new chip, Willow, has achieved the exponential suppression of errors. The advance is substantial, but Willow remains far from delivering on any practical applications

It’s a “big deal” to demonstrate entangled quantum networks outside a lab

The influential AI design that makes chatbots tick now runs on quantum computers

Experts are starting to plan for the moment when a quantum computer large enough to crack the backbone of the math that keeps things secret will be turned on.
