Replication is a cornerstone of science, yet even in the natural sciences, attempts to reproduce results do not always succeed. Quantum computing promises machines that can solve certain problems far ...

In the strange world of quantum computing, randomness isn’t just noise. It’s a powerful resource. Whether you’re designing secure cryptographic systems, simulating processes that occur in nature, or ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Science and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are ...

Amid some scepticism, many say the machines can now achieve results beyond the capability of traditional computers ...

The allure of quantum computers is, at its heart, quite simple: by leveraging counterintuitive quantum effects, they could perform computational feats utterly impossible for any classical computer.

A team of researchers have published a paper in which they show that a quantum computer can produce certified randomness, which has numerous application areas such as in cryptography. According to the ...

One of the pieces of equipment for the quantum random number generator in the NIST Boulder laboratories. Very little in this life is truly random. A coin flip is influenced by the flipper’s force, its ...

At JPMorgan Chase headquarters, a quiet quantum coup: the bank just beat Big Tech to a breakthrough in certified randomness—marking a rare win for Wall Street in the race to make quantum computing ...

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 ...
