A 200-Qubit Chemistry Result Didn’t Need a Quantum Computer
A quick read of the headline might suggest another triumph for quantum computing, but a closer look reveals the opposite. OTI...
NTT DOCOMO Deploys Second D-Wave Quantum Application
NTT DOCOMO, Japan’s largest mobile operator, has implemented a second D-Wave-powered quantum application to optimize how its network groups geographic...
China Puts 85 Quantum Devices Into a Working Power Grid
China has equipped an operational 220-kilovolt substation in Hefei with 85 quantum devices. This initiative aims to test quantum sensing,...
Argonne Gets $1M to Build Diamond Quantum Sensors
Argonne National Laboratory has launched a three-year, $1 million project to develop diamond-based quantum sensors. These sensors will be used...
Silicon Qubits Aren’t Winning Yet. Manufacturing Could Change That
The narrative often suggests an inevitable progression: silicon, the bedrock of the digital age, will seamlessly transition into the quantum...
No, This Quantum Chaos Proof Doesn’t Threaten RSA
A recent mathematical proof concerning wave behavior in chaotic systems has been widely discussed online, often inaccurately linked to the...
Electrons Defy the Quantum Limit in Topological Material
When a magnetic field is cranked high enough, electrons inside a metal are expected to settle into their lowest possible...
Rice University Adds a Temperature Dial to Quantum Simulator
When something warms up, its electrons behave differently. This is obvious in a chemistry lab but much harder to replicate...
Xanadu Targets Cancer Drug Discovery With Quantum Computing
Some cancer treatments target tumors with light. Photodynamic therapy utilizes photosensitizers, which are compounds that remain dormant in tissue until...
Silicon Qubits Fail Because Their Atoms Sit Randomly
Researchers have traced the device-to-device swings in silicon spin-qubit valley splitting to random atomic-scale disorder inside the quantum well that...
