Increased Qubit Count: With more than 5000 qubits, the next-generation platform will more than double the qubit count of the existing D-Wave 2000Q™ system. Combining more qubits with the new topology ...

Since it is likely that the qubit states here are not single-holed donuts, we probably cannot use the rules of topology to turn them into coffee cups. There is, however, an excellently long-lived ...

Can insights from topology—the study of the properties of 3D objects that persist when an object is stretched or compressed—be applied in the field of quantum information processing? Juan Lin ...

In a leap forward for quantum computing, a Microsoft team led by UC Santa Barbara physicists on Wednesday unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind. The chip, built ...

The qubit is not good enough for quantum logic operations, but researchers hope that further efforts could lead to applications in quantum sensing and quantum memories. Contemporary quantum computing ...

Technology Qubit breakthrough could make it easier to build quantum computers. Quantum computers that correct their own errors usually require hundreds of thousands of qubits.

Each qubit (gray square) involves a left and right resonance chamber (blue dots) that a photon can move between. Each of the qubits has connections that allow entanglement with its nearest neighbors.

The qubit processor is about as wide as the thickness of a fingernail. Small is key because estimates indicate that a world-changing quantum computer will need one million to 10 million qubits, ...
