The company has drawn governments, a major chipmaker, and the Pentagon into an effort to control fragile photons and build a useful quantum machine. It aims to be the first.

Experts believe quantum computing could lead to breakthroughs in fields like cryptography, finance, science and transportation, and IBM says the technology could solve some problems in minutes or ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about green energy tech that will change your life. An illustration of quantum entanglement between two particles. The ...

The biggest difference between these two is funding. IonQ has no core business to fund its operations; it must sign research contracts to do so. As of now, IonQ's quantum business isn't sustainable, ...

Quantum computing’s edge looked closer after a hard physics problem seemed beyond classical machines. But a new result shows compressed math and smarter algorithms can match or beat that benchmark, ...

Quantum computing promises a new generation of computers capable of solving problems hundreds of millions of times more quickly than today’s fastest supercomputers. This is done by harnessing spooky ...

Classical computers, like your iPhone, process information using tiny circuits that are either on or off at any given moment. These states are represented by bits: 1's (on) and 0's (off). The chip at ...

There are currently about 80 companies across the world manufacturing quantum computing hardware. Because I report on quantum computing, I have had a chance to watch it grow as an industry from up ...
