By using controlled microwave noise, researchers created a quantum refrigerator capable of operating as a cooler, heat engine, or amplifier. This approach offers a new way to manage heat directly ...

You might think that creating a highly accurate model of the way air passes through a jet engine would be relatively easy. It is incredibly hard. The enormous number of variables means that it is, in ...

You might be familiar with the qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum information. As its name suggests, a qubit in a quantum computer performs the same function as a bit in a classical computer, with ...

Information is the lifeblood of the financial services industry, which means the faster and more accurately players can analyze complex information, the more they stand to gain. That’s why the ...

Quantum hardware has finally crossed a psychological threshold: it is no longer a science project in search of a purpose, it is a working tool that large companies and governments are starting to use.

Get the latest federal technology news delivered to your inbox. Quantum science, and especially its most popular offshoot, quantum computing, have come a long way in a fairly short period of time.

Physicist Jay Gambetta, at IBM’s lab in Yorktown Heights, New York, explains how microwaves orchestrate a solution on a quantum chip: “Think of each qubit as a line in music. You’re creating notes.” ...

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum computer: The realization of a novel type of quantum logic gate makes it ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is looking for companies to build the hardware and software quantum computers need to communicate and work together. Most quantum computers are standalone ...

IBM (NYSE:IBM) said it can run a vital quantum computing algorithm on commonly available chips from Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), Reuters reported. Jay Gambetta, the IBM vice president running ...
