Using a powerful machine made up of 56 trapped-ion quantum bits, or qubits, researchers have achieved something once thought impossible. They have proven, for the first time, that a quantum computer ...

A team of computer engineers from quantum computer maker Quantinuum, working with computer scientists from Microsoft, has found a way to greatly reduce errors when running experiments on a quantum ...

The quantum computing company Quantinuum recently announced a quantum computer it says outperformed a landmark Google computer’s result 100-fold. The 2019 Google result used a specific test called the ...

Another quantum computing record has been broken. A team has built a quantum computer with the largest ever number of so-called logical qubits, or quantum bits. Unlike standard qubits, logical qubits ...

My 2003 computer was built for me. My 2006 computer was built for me, and my 2009 computer was built for me. I did make a replacement Linux box out of new parts in 2008 or so, but mostly, I've washed ...

To use quantum computers on a large scale, the qubit technology the drives them must be improved. Qubits are the quantum version of conventional computer bits. Increasing the number of available ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Bits and bytes are the fundamentals of computing. Computers today are capable of wonderful marvels and complex calculations. But ...

Researchers at PSI have compared the electron distribution below the oxide layer of two semiconductors. The investigation is part of an effort to develop particularly stable quantum bits—and thus, in ...

"Computer bits that follow the laws of quantum mechanics can be achieved in different ways," explains Niels Schröter, one of the study's authors. He was a researcher at PSI until April 2021, when he ...
