The quantum world is famously weird—a single particle can be in two places at once, its properties are undefined until they ...

A research team at the Jülich Supercomputing Center, together with experts from NVIDIA, has set a new record in quantum simulation: for the first time, a universal quantum computer with 50 qubits has ...

A Princeton team built a new tantalum-silicon qubit that survives for over a millisecond, far surpassing today’s best devices. The design tackles surface defects and substrate losses that have limited ...

The world’s biggest emoji is actually following F1 drivers using GPS data By Steven Zeitchik Senior Editor, Technology and Politics Sphere Studios’ head of Creative Ned McNeilage explained to The ...

New high-contrast images from SPHERE show a stunning variety of debris disks shaped by collisions of tiny planet-building ...

As Nicholas Rudder built his last startup, an educational marketplace called ScholarSite, he kept running into the same problem: tax. “Marketplaces are liable for tax on their entire GMV (gross ...

Superconducting quantum bits (qubits) are the basis of some of the most advanced quantum processors. This year, they were used in a groundbreaking demonstration of ...

China is racing to harden its quantum ambitions on two fronts at once, pairing more powerful quantum processors with new ...

One the biggest challenges for quantum computers is the incredibly short time that qubits can retain information. But a new qubit from Princeton University lasts 15 times longer than industry standard ...

Among the current challenges with creating quantum computers is that the timespan that a singular qubit remains coherent is quite limited, restricting their usefulness. Usually such qubits consist of ...
