Quantum Computing

The competition between the U.S. and China over development of quantum technology has implications for both the future of science and the two countries’ political relations

New research shows that there are problems even quantum computers might never be able to solve

One expert warns that the field is overpromising, while another says his firm is on the verge of building “useful” machines

It will bring molecular modeling to a new level of accuracy, reducing researchers’ reliance on serendipity

Let’s take advantage of this early stage of their development to avoid the mistakes of past technological upheavals

Physics is still dominated by men, which means we’re largely missing out on the talents of half the population

The setup of lasers and mirrors effectively “solved” a problem far too complicated for even the largest traditional computer system

A downsized version of the company’s Sycamore chip performed a record-breaking simulation of a chemical reaction

Capable of connecting eight or more users across distances of 17 kilometers, the demonstration is another milestone toward developing a fully quantum Internet

Five new quantum information science centers will marry the R&D strengths of academia, industry and U.S. national laboratories

It hinges on the country remaining a global beacon for international STEM talent

Quantum computing is still the province of specialized programmers—but that is likely to change very quickly
