In a note released Wednesday, Bank of America analysts suggested that quantum computing “could be the biggest revolution for humanity since discovering fire.” They argued that this groundbreaking ...

A quantum computer has "quantum supremacy" when it can do a calculation that's impractical for a classical computer to do because it would take too long to be useful.

A quantum computer with 4 qubits can in theory handle 16 times as much information as an equally-sized conventional computer and will keep doubling in power with every qubit that’s added.

Quantum computers could help with drug development It could be decades before we have quantum computers that can do anything useful, but once we get there, what will we use them for? The first use ...

Quantum computers offer great promise for cryptography and optimization problems. ZDNet explores what quantum computers will and won't be able to do, and the challenges we still face.

WSJ reporter Asa Fitch gives a primer on what quantum computing is, explains what Microsoft’s potential breakthrough could mean and projects where the real-world future of this tech could land.

Quantum computers will also speed up many difficult optimization problems, where we want to find the "best" way to do something. This will allow us to tackle larger-scale problems in areas such as ...

3. Quantum circuits that scale. Quantum hardware is advancing quickly. IBM recently broke through the 100-qubit barrier, and IBM and other providers announced near-term plans for 1,000 qubits ...

I find quantum computing to be a fascinating prospect (inasmuch as it may be “fundamental” in the sense of physical reality, and may be needed where process lithography reaches limits related to the ...

When quantum computers become powerful enough, they could theoretically crack the encryption algorithms that keep us safe. The race is on to find new ones. Tech Review Explains: Let our writers ...

Abe Asfaw: Yeah.So the IBM Quantum Challenge is one of our many attempts to make sure that everyone becomes quantum-ready, everyone can do quantum computing, can program a quantum computer.
