Google's head of quantum thinks we could get real-world applications of quantum computing in just five years, while Nvidia ...

The gemstone spinel, known for its vibrant colors resembling gems like rubies and sapphires, has now been shown to be capable ...

The key building block of a basic quantum computer is the so-called qubit. These are analogous to the regular bits in a conventional computer, in that they can represent a value of "0" or a value ...

While a conventional bit can exist in two states, 1 or 0, a qubit can have both values simultaneously, nominally allowing a quantum computer to sift through vast numbers of potential solutions at ...

"Another indispensable ingredient is the communication between the measured classical bits and the unmeasured ... the quantum order in their 54-qubit system that was masked by noise.

To improve the situation, MIT researchers and researchers worldwide have continually focused on improving qubit performance. In new work, using a superconducting qubit called fluxonium ...

MIT researchers have pushed the boundaries of quantum computing by developing fluxonium qubits that demonstrate world-record ...

Instead of the binary 0 or 1 of a standard bit, qubits can take both states at ... leveraging heat from the environment to cool the target qubit. It functions by harnessing interactions between ...
