Can quantum become even bigger than AI? And will it help soften the AI bubble as it seems set to burst? Experts share their ...

Just a few years ago, many researchers in quantum computing thought it would take several decades to develop machines that ...

Scientists have finally figured out how to read ultra-secure Majorana qubits—bringing robust quantum computing a big step closer. “This is a crucial advance,” says Ramón Aguado, a CSIC researcher at ...

By using controlled microwave noise, researchers created a quantum refrigerator capable of operating as a cooler, heat engine, or amplifier. This approach offers a new way to manage heat directly ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

The promise of quantum computers appears to be that they will upend modern computing as we know it. With exceptional computational power, they’ll be performing feats unimaginable for any classical ...

Quantum computing has the attention of the most powerful institutions in the world, including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM and the U.S. government. Startups in the space attracted about $2 billion ...

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

For decades, quantum computing has felt like something out of science fiction — abstract, theoretical, and always “10 years away.” But in 2025, the story has changed. Quantum technology is no longer ...

Quantum computing and neutron star physics are converging on the same hard problem: how to describe matter when gravity and quantum mechanics both refuse to stay in the background. Researchers are ...

Fighting wildfires is a massive logistical challenge—a high-stakes puzzle where every move counts. At their core, wildfires are optimization problems: How do you allocate limited resources like water, ...

Gov. Wes Moore (D), who calls quantum computing a “lighthouse industry” for Maryland, has secured more than $1 billion in ...
