A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the ...

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 ...

Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

Contemporary physics has learned to describe the universe with unprecedented precision. Yet when it tries to say what time is, it stumbles again and ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

A new study in Nature Physics has turned an old problem on its head by reporting a way to use the noisy interactions between ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Sai writes about healthcare, innovation and technology. Leveraging the principles of quantum physics, quantum computing can ...
