Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach ...

The quantum computing future is rapidly reshaping how scientists think about computation, with machines moving toward fault-tolerant systems capable of solving problems beyond classical limits. From ...

An international research team has developed a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm based on quantum computing for real-time maximum power point tracking (MPPT) implementation in PV systems.

Quantum technologies like quantum computers are built from quantum materials. These types of materials exhibit quantum properties when exposed to the right conditions. Curiously, engineers can also ...

Toronto-based Xanadu Quantum Technologies published a new algorithmic optimization on May 21 that halves the Toffoli gate ...

The very prospect of the quantum apocalypse has driven various stakeholders to consider what that could be like and how to prepare. For instance, in 2015, the U.S. Natio ...

With growing focus on the existential threat quantum computing poses to some of the most crucial and widely used forms of encryption, cryptography engineer Filippo Valsorda wants to make one thing ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Scientists have discovered the cause of a persistent glitch that continues to disrupt superconducting quantum computers, even when they have built-in defenses. For all their advanced hardware, ...

Quantum computing does not just threaten passwords and virtual private networks (VPNs). It goes straight for something legal systems rely on ...

Lattice Semiconductor picked up a gold cybersecurity award in May 2026 for what the company says is the industry’s first ...
