A cryostat from a quantum computer stands during a press tour of the Leibniz Computing Center in 2022. Qubit is a key term in one of the most buzzy areas of technology: quantum computing. Qubits are ...

In a major step toward practical quantum computers, Princeton engineers have built a superconducting qubit that lasts three times longer than today's best versions. "The real challenge, the thing that ...

Multiple qubit platform: In this diagram, an STM tip coated with iron (top) operates the sensor spin qubit. Also shown are the remote spin qubits, which are aligned by the magnetic fields of nearby ...

Following up on Microsoft’s announcement of a qubit based on completely new physics, Amazon is publishing a paper describing a very different take on quantum computing hardware. The system mixes two ...

Researchers have developed a novel superconducting qubit architecture that can perform operations between qubits with much higher accuracy than scientists have yet been able to achieve. This ...

Spanning a range of hardware platforms, the building-blocks of quantum processors are today sufficiently advanced to begin work on scaling-up these systems into complex quantum machines. A key ...

Two years after unveiling its quantum roadmap, IBM is keeping pace with its goals, the company said Tuesday -- and it has new plans to deliver a 4,000+ qubit quantum computer by 2025. That progress ...

If you buy into the hype, quantum computers promise to revolutionize the world. Scientists hope future versions of this nascent technology could allow pharmaceutical companies to discover new drugs in ...

We’re nearing the end of the year, and there are typically a flood of announcements regarding quantum computers around now, in part because some companies want to live up to promised schedules. Most ...

Researchers have succeeded in developing an all-nitride superconducting qubit using epitaxial growth on a silicon substrate that does not use aluminum as the conductive material. This qubit uses ...

A new toolbox for sophisticated quantum simulators, in which qubits can directly communicate through so-called “topological radio channels”, has been proposed by physicists in Germany and Spain.
