Just a few years ago, many researchers in quantum computing thought it would take several decades to develop machines that ...

Scientists have finally figured out how to read ultra-secure Majorana qubits—bringing robust quantum computing a big step closer. “This is a crucial advance,” says Ramón Aguado, a CSIC researcher at ...

Quantum computing technology is complex, getting off the ground and maturing. There is promise of things to come. potentially ...

Simmons says that silicon quantum processors offer an inherent advantage in scaling, too. Generating numerous registers on a single chip and using “naturally occurring” qubits, she notes, reduces ...

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...

Quantum computing has great potential , but its main unit, the qubit, is beset by inherent stability problems. However, this new study might change that.

By using controlled microwave noise, researchers created a quantum refrigerator capable of operating as a cooler, heat engine, or amplifier. This approach offers a new way to manage heat directly ...

A breakthrough optical design allows quantum computers to read information in parallel, a key step toward building ...

Researchers have demonstrated that the theoretically optimal scaling for magic state distillation—a critical bottleneck in fault-tolerant quantum computing—is achievable for qubits, improving on the ...
