A team including Scott Aaronson demonstrated what may be the first practical application of quantum computers to a real world problem. Using a 56-qubit quantum computer, researchers have for the first ...

Chip-based device paves the way for scalable and secure random number generation, an essential building block for future digital infrastructure Chip-based device paves the way for scalable and secure ...

Quantum computers have the potential to do things that not even the most powerful supercomputer can do, but the road to get there is far from easy. Still, the first applications of quantum computing ...

Using a powerful machine made up of 56 trapped-ion quantum bits, or qubits, researchers have achieved something once thought impossible. They have proven, for the first time, that a quantum computer ...
