Quantum computing is slowly entering the mainstream, as more people discuss the technology and its potential within ...

Google claims to have achieved a verifiable quantum breakthrough with a new algorithm that outperforms the most powerful ...

The IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) has published a beautiful book, good to read and also a substantial addition to any executive office: the fourth edition of The Quantum Decade. The 168-page ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do it for some critical optimization tasks. For ...

A search problem refers to the task of finding a solution within some space of possible options, and that space could be made up of discrete steps or continuously varying values. For example, solving ...

Imagine you visit a maze with some friends. You emerge from the exit shortly after going in, and wait around for hours before your friends emerge. Naturally, they ask about the path you took — surely ...

The age of quantum computers is fast approaching, and with it comes the potential threat of breaking classical encryption. The algorithms that have reliably protected our data, such as RSA and ECC, ...

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...
