Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Scientists built a quantum gate linking four-state photons, showing complex quantum tasks can be done with fewer steps using qudits.

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum computer: The realization of a novel type of quantum logic gate makes it ...

To build a large-scale quantum computer that works, scientists and engineers need to overcome the spontaneous errors that quantum bits, or qubits, create as they operate. Scientists encode these ...

Quantum-computing firm D-Wave introduced an open-source toolkit for bringing quantum annealing into AI and machine learning (ML) workflows. The toolkit, part of D-Wave’s Ocean software suite, ...
