After the applied mathematician Peter Shor, then at Bell Labs in New Jersey, showed that a quantum algorithm could, in theory ...

Meet the team Left to right are Yu Yang, Matteo Fadel, Yiwen Chu and Igor Kladarić. They were the main researchers at ETH Zurich who created the groundbreaking mechanical qubit. (Courtesy: Yu Yang/ETH ...

Quantum computing is still in its early stages of development, but researchers have extensively explored its potential uses. A recent study conducted at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil ...

Qubits, or quantum bits, are the fundamental units of information in quantum computing. Unlike classical bits, which can only exist in one of two states (0 or 1), qubits can exist in multiple states ...

Physicists have created a quantum bit, or qubit, the fundamental storage unit of a quantum computer, out of antimatter for the first time. The researchers used magnetic fields to trap a single ...

If you buy into the hype, quantum computers promise to revolutionize the world. Scientists hope future versions of this nascent technology could allow pharmaceutical companies to discover new drugs in ...
