For the first time, scientists have observed the iconic Shapiro steps, a staircase-like quantum effect, in ultracold atoms.

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

Imagine a supercomputer millions or trillions of times more powerful than the most advanced technology today, capable of both discovering life-saving drugs and instantly hacking all digital encryption ...

Cisco and IBM plan to pool their R&D efforts to build a network of large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers capable of working together to run computations up to hundreds of thousands of qubits.

Quantum devices that measure Earth's magnetic fields could help replace GPS—if researchers can figure out how to tell when such devices are working well, or even at all. A Pentagon contract suggests ...

Quantum computers are coming. And when they arrive, they are going to upend the way we protect sensitive data. Unlike classical computers, quantum computers harness quantum mechanical effects — like ...

At the heart of QFS is quantum computing. Unlike the computers we use every day, which work with bits that are either a 0 or a 1, quantum computers use something called qubits. These qubits can be a 0 ...

Is 170,141,183,460,469,231,731,687,303,715,884,105,727 prime? Before you ask the Internet for an answer, can you consider how you might answer that question without a ...

Jean-Charles Pelland's work has been made possible by financial support from the ‘QUANTA: Evolution of Cognitive Tools for Quantification’ project, which has received funding from the European ...
