For the past six years, Los Alamos National Laboratory has led the world in trying to understand one of the most frustrating barriers that faces variational quantum computing: the barren plateau.

A quantum problem once described as impossible for classical computers has now been solved using relatively modest hardware.

After decades spent gestating in labs, quantum computing has finally reached an inflection point between theoretical promise and practical implementation. From discoveries in pharmaceutical and ...

Researchers from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Cleveland Clinic and IBM announced a breakthrough on Monday that could establish one of the first practical uses for quantum computing, a technology ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. Inside a ...

Last year Universal Quantum, the quantum computing firm spun out of Sussex University, announced it was collaborating with the Open Quantum Institute (OQI) on using quantum computing in drug discovery ...

You might think that creating a highly accurate model of the way air passes through a jet engine would be relatively easy. It is incredibly hard. The enormous number of variables means that it is, in ...

Utilities are exploring quantum computing for grid optimization, storage scheduling, and EV coordination. Here's what the ...

While farmers have cultivated crops for millennia using intuition and experience, today's agriculture increasingly relies on data-driven approaches to maximize yields while minimizing environmental ...

The company has drawn governments, a major chipmaker, and the Pentagon into an effort to control fragile photons and build a ...
