A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is.

We speak to Rob Akers, director for computing programmes at UK Atomic Energy Institute, about its new artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer.

At the time, their technique was a fascinating but impractical creation. Forty years later, it is poised to become an ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they’ve been awarded the highest honor in computer science.

Turing Award winners Gilles Brassard and Charles Bennett pioneered ideas that are now foundational to quantum computers and ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognized for their foundational work in quantum information science.

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that the properties of the perovskite family of materials can be used to create so-called quantum bits. The findings, published in the journal Nature ...

Divide any circle’s circumference by its diameter and you get pi. But what, exactly, are its digits? Measuring physical ...

The errors that quantum computers make are holding the technology back. But recent progress in quantum error correction has ...

A degree in computer science is as worthwhile as ever. There is, after all, a lot more to the field than just coding. The discipline covers many exciting topics, such as IT system design, security, ...
