The promise of quantum computers is that certain computational tasks might be executed exponentially faster on a quantum processor than on a classical processor. Quantum computing is a beautiful ...

Quantum computers that use entangled quantum bits or qubits will be capable verify answers to an incredibly vast set of problems. The correspondence between entanglement and computing was previously ...

No one knows when, but crypto-menacing quantum machines are coming. Here's how researchers use quantum mechanics to crack large integers in asymmetric cryptography. Quantum computing continues to ...

Today is World Quantum Day. It is celebrated on April 14, a reference to 4.14, the rounded first digits of Planck’s constant which describes the behavior of particles and waves on the atomic scale, ...

Quantum computing studies theoretical computation systems (quantum computers) that make direct use of quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on ...

Quantum computing may someday blow away today's smartest machines. It's weird and heavy on the physics, but Microsoft thinks you can handle it. Brooke Crothers writes about mobile computer systems, ...

Computers have come a long way since Alan Turing postulated their limitations in his now-famous 1950 paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence." They may not be falling in love (though, having ...

Jack Dongarra's software unlocked new abilities in multimillion-dollar machines that sprawl across data centers the size of tennis courts. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and wrote ...
