There are currently about 80 companies across the world manufacturing quantum computing hardware. Because I report on quantum computing, I have had a chance to watch it grow as an industry from up ...

Twenty years ago Winfried Hensinger was told by other scientists that developing a powerful quantum computer was impossible. Now he has made the system behind him that he believes will prove them ...

Quantum computers can compare molecules that are much larger than the ones classical computers can compute, Accenture said on its website. “The big hope is that a quantum computer can simulate any ...

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 ...

There's an old adage among tech journalists like me - you can either explain quantum accurately, or in a way that people understand, but you can't do both. That's because quantum mechanics - a strange ...

Quantum computing promises a new generation of computers capable of solving problems hundreds of millions of times more quickly than today’s fastest supercomputers. This is done by harnessing spooky ...

A vital ingredient for making quantum computers truly useful just might be conventional computers. That was the message from a gathering of researchers this month, which explained that classical ...

Google has unveiled a new chip which it claims takes five minutes to solve a problem that would currently take the world's fastest super computers ten septillion – or ...
