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 ...

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, ...

There are new computers that are generating some amazing results for solving problems in record time. You won’t see these computers on the classic Top500 lists though, because they aren’t approaching ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
