Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require nearly the resources anticipated just a year or two ago, two independently written whitepapers have concluded.

This team effort converges expertise to leverage quantum computing for an important, practical outcome.”— Marco Cerezo,

Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new approach for reducing the errors that riddle today's rudimentary quantum computers.

An international team of scientists proved the never-before-seen molecule's exotic nature using a quantum computer, potentially ushering in new scientific opportunities.

Future quantum computers will need to be less powerful than we thought to threaten the security of encrypted messages.

A joint research team between the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology (QIQB) at The University of Osaka and Fixstars Corporation has demonstrated one of the world's largest classical simulations of iterative quantum phase estimation (IQPE) circuits for quantum chemistry on up to 1,

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all.
