Fusion energy has always had a tritium problem. The fuel that powers every leading reactor design barely exists on Earth in usable quantities, and the best candidate for breeding it inside a reactor — ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. Inside a ...

Imagine shining a flashlight across a dark room. You can predict exactly what the light will do: travel in a straight line ...

Explore the potential of quantum computing and the challenges ahead as researchers strive to overcome noise and errors.

Every week quantum computing hits a new milestone: more qubits, fewer errors, better readout of results. But will these breakthroughs help solve the advanced computational problems facing energy, like ...

Picture a quantum computer. Are you imagining an ordinary computer, but somehow just better? If so, that would be a mistake, because quantum computers are fundamentally different. They rely on exotic ...

On May 7, 1981, influential physicist Richard Feynman gave a keynote speech at Caltech. Feynman opened his talk by politely rejecting the very notion of a keynote speech, instead saying that he had ...

Quantum Art's new QPU could be both significantly smaller and also faster than competing quantum architectures. How can we reinvent quantum computing? Perhaps by shrinking it down and making it small: ...

Since the development of the electronic calculator in the 1960s, the field of computing has seen tremendous breakthroughs. In the field of information processing, the last several years have been ...
