A new quantum computing technology campus is on its way to Chicago’s South Side, and local K–12 students were recently given the chance to design their own versions. When completed, the Illinois ...

Quantum computers are often benchmarked by the number of quantum bits (qubits) they have, but a large collection of unreliable qubits is no more useful than a football team of unskilled players.

Quantinuum lost nearly $200 million last year, saw revenue drop the first quarter of 2026, and says its technology may never work–yet investors are clamoring to buy the stock. The quantum-computer ...

Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that’s what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum mechanics, the set of rules governing how physics operates at atomic and ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... After decades as an emerging technology, quantum computing is moving rapidly toward commercialization. And in doing so, it is increasingly coming full circle ...

The clock is ticking on Q-Day, the looming yet unknown date when quantum computing will have the capacity to quickly and easily break the encryption keys that keep most internet communication safe.

One of the most promising uses for quantum computers is to simulate proteins that could help us discover new drugs, but these devices are currently too error-prone for the task. However, two quantum ...

It could be years until quantum computing delivers on its promise to revolutionize everything from financial trading to drug discovery. But that’s not stopping the companies developing quantum ...

The Bitcoin community continues to debate whether cryptographically relevant quantum computers are imminent or decades away. Project Eleven, a quantum security research company, awarded a prize to ...

AI models have been helping with predictions for a while now. Doctors, weather forecasters and stock brokers all use AI to try to peek into the future. Inside the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in ...
