This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. Inside a ...

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it. Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum ...

“We’re not talking about more powerful computers—we're talking about different ones," says the scientist, who sees a hybrid future where quantum and classical computing coexist in the cloud. Sonia ...

While the billion-dollar question is about when quantum computing will become commercially viable, one of the problems being tackled at the moment is how to make the ...

First proof-of-concept To put their approach to the test, the researchers implemented Grover's quantum search algorithm fault-tolerantly on three logical qubits encoded across eight physical qubits of ...

Researchers from quantum computing companies Quanscient Oy and Haiqu Inc. today announced that they have developed a new quantum computing algorithm designed to make computational fluid dynamics ...

Quantum chemistry calculations that could advance drug development or agriculture have recently emerged as a promising “killer application” of quantum computers, but a new analysis suggests this is ...

In October 2025, there was a groundbreaking scientific breakthrough that might have passed you by. Google claimed its Willow quantum chip ran a task that would take today's best classical ...

Although quantum computing can't match the multitrillion-dollar global addressable market that AI brings to the table, it's no slouch. Quantum computers can create between $450 billion and $850 ...

The military tested a new approach in Venezuela and during strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. By Julian E. Barnes and Adam Sella Reporting from Washington The United States used cyberweapons in ...
