A new presidential initiative called QMIT will advance the development of quantum technologies—and help ensure that they are used for good.

A new technical paper titled “Leveraging Qubit Loss Detection in Fault-Tolerant Quantum Algorithms” was published by ...

Quantum computers could rapidly solve complex problems that would take the most powerful classical supercomputers decades to ...

Scientists from MIT successfully create a quantum computer out of only five atoms that factors numbers in a scalable way using an algorithm proposed by Professor Peter Shor back in 1994. The feat ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S. have made a groundbreaking achievement after they captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space.

At the heart of many quantum computers are ions held in place and manipulated with light. These qubits must be chilled near ...

MIT physicists have taken the first-ever direct images of individual atoms interacting freely in space. Their findings, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, reveal hidden quantum ...

Every second of modern life runs on precision — from GPS navigation to the time signals that keep the internet in sync. But scientists at MIT and Harvard have just taken precision to an entirely new ...

Atlantic Quantum has received a contract from the US Air Force to develop a quantum computer based on fluxonium qubits. The company has been given a $1.8 million Phase II STTR grant from AFWERX, the ...

Why it matters: Quantum computers promise to tackle problems that stump even the most advanced supercomputers. Getting there is a different story, though. One of the biggest hurdles is efficiently ...
