Quantum computer slows down virtual chemistry reaction 100 billion times

A novel quantum method allowed researchers to witness engineered conical intersections directly for the first time.

Physicists solved decades-old puzzle with huge implications for quantum computers

A happy accident lead to a breakthrough that may prove to be revolutionary in physics and beyond.

Physicists count sound particles with a quantum microphone

Using sound, rather than light, could lead to more efficient and more compact quantum computers.

China breaks quantum entanglement record at 18 qubits

Imagine reading a library at once rather than one book at a time -- that's what quantum computers can do.

Quantum encryption is now fast enough to support a 'unhackable' internet

The required hardware is inconvenient, however.

Quantum Robots learn Faster, respond Better and Smarter

While robots today have become more adapted, they’re still essentially stupid – limited to a particular pre-programmed series of tasks, slow to respond to complex environments and unable to learn from past experience. The future belongs to machine learning and cognitive computing, a new field that’s set to have a great impact on our lives, […]

IBM is building the largest data array in the world - 120 petabytes of storage

IBM recently made public its intentions of developing what will be upon its completion the world’s largest data array, consisting of 200,000 conventional hard disk drives intertwined and working together, adding to 120 petabytes of available storage space. The contract for this massive data array, 10 times bigger than any other data center in the […]

Quantum information stored in a single atom

It’s amazing where computer science is heading to, and with quantum computing getting more and more popular, the trend of evolving towards smaller and smaller scales has just reached another level – an atomic level. Gerhard Rempe at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching have stored quantum information in a single atom! […]

Shorties: Teleporting light could bring breakthrough in quantum computing

The laws of quantum physics are strange, but they do allow some pretty awesome stuff, which wouldn’t otherwise be possible in our day to day life. Perhaps one of the most interesting developments they could bring come from the world of quantum computers. The fact that researchers have successfully teleported light without losing information could […]

Big leap for quantum computing

Quantum computers – closer thank you think   The microprocessors used today are absolutely amazing on their own; it seemed, and for good reason, that there was little we could do to improve them. If anything was to top microprocessors, it would have to be something from a totally different league, which is just down […]
