Mistakes happen — especially in quantum computers. The fragile quantum bits, or qubits, that make up the machines are notoriously error-prone, but now scientists have shown that they can fix the flubs ...

Ripples spreading across a calm lake after raindrops fall—and the way ripples from different drops overlap and travel outward ...

Quantum computing is still in its infancy, easily beaten by traditional computers. One of the biggest challenges? The fact that quantum bits — qubits — are much more fragile than the bits in silicon ...

For quantum computers to go from research curiosities to practically useful devices, researchers need to get their errors under control. New research from Microsoft and Quantinuum has now taken a ...

Paper checks, though not used daily as much as they used to be, are still a necessary part of making payments and managing your checking account. Online banking has made digital transactions more ...

Quantum is smart. The progression toward embryonic quantum computing services represents a shift (you know what kind) in terms of the amount of intelligence we can apply to computing, data analytics ...

In contrast to classical computers, which operate on bits that can only take the basic values 0 and 1, quantum computers operate on "qubits," which can assume any superposition of the computational ...

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -- An Army project devised a novel approach for quantum error correction that could provide a key step toward practical quantum computers ...
