Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

Forgetting feels like a failure of attention, but physics treats it as a fundamental process with a measurable price. At the ...

Quantum computing promises to disrupt entire industries because it leverages the rules of quantum physics to perform calculations in fundamentally new ways. Unlike traditional computers that process ...

Mathematicians have found a way to transform an unproductive quantum computing approach by reviving a class of previously discarded particles. Now, in a new study published in the journal Nature ...

Quantum physics has been around since the 1920s, while applying the unique characteristics of it in a computer had to wait until the early 2000s. Recent standards from NIST and other government ...

In 1925, German physicist Werner Heisenberg published a paper on quantum mechanics, upending classical physics and launching the world into the quantum age. Now, 100 years later, researchers across ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...

NanoQT, a startup developing interconnects for quantum computing, raised $14 million in a Series A funding round. Phoenix Venture Partners (PVP), a venture capital firm with a history of investing in ...

With quantum computing the world may be able to solve problems far too complex for typical computers within minutes, or even seconds. Analysts say the quantum computing market could eventually be ...

Quantum computing could be the future of technology, but it's too early to pick winners. I won't get too technical, but here's the main idea behind quantum computing: Traditional computers, like the ...
