Since the 1990s, evidence has been growing that quantum computers should be able to solve a range of particularly complex computational problems, with applications in everything from supply chain ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these ...

A specially tweaked classical computer system has just solved a physics problem so complex it was thought to be impossible without a quantum computer. The problem is the simulation of what are called ...

Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational ...

Scientists have established a relationship between the complexity of a problem, and the physical processes of entanglement required to solve it. “Some mathematical problems are easy. Some mathematical ...

A growing number of quantum engineers worldwide have been trying to realize large-scale quantum networks, which consist of ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Creating quantum entanglement from scratch can be tricky business, so researchers are exploring ways that entangled pairs can “share” these states ...

Quantum entanglement describes a quantum mechanical phenomenon by which two or more particles share a single, inseparable quantum state. Within quantum computing ...

To keep communications secure in a post-quantum world, cryptographers are digging down into the concept of cause and effect.

A new debate in quantum physics is shaking the foundations of modern science. Tim Palmerargues that nature may not follow ...

Quantum networking is an underappreciated but potentially consequential dimension of U.S.-China quantum competition.
