An international team of scientists proved the never-before-seen molecule's exotic nature using a quantum computer, potentially ushering in new scientific opportunities.

They went on to show this approach could allow a quantum computer to break 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) in 10 days while using 100 times less overhead than previously estimated. In a second paper,

Quantum computing promises to transform our world in rapid, radical and revolutionary ways: solving in seconds problems that would take classical computers years, accelerating the discovery of new medicines,

Australia’s quantum push is accelerating, with real systems, bold timelines, and breakthroughs like quantum twins signaling a shift in the global tech race.

Why Nvidia, Amazon Web Services, Google, and xLight are among Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in computing for 2026. The most innovative companies in computing this year reflect wide-ranging efforts to build the infrastructure that next-generation AI applications require,

A team of physicists set out to test some of the most exciting claims in quantum computing—and found a very different story. Instead of confirming breakthroughs, their careful replication studies revealed that signals once hailed as major advances could actually be explained in simpler ways.

Quantum computers could solve certain problems that would take traditional classical computers an impractically long time to solve. At the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), researchers are now working to make these systems reliable and trustworthy.

Pure plays such as IonQ and Rigetti Computing dominate the quantum computing narrative, but one member of the "Magnificent Seven" may be the better buy.

Quantum computing is closer to reality than many investors realize. While it still may be a few years away, the contracts and relationships that are forged now will shape how the industry grows. And for investors to capture maximum upside in the quantum computing investing realm,
