The Quantum Genesis Q Competition aims to turn quantum machines from lab experiments into practical research tools.

A number of companies, betting on various architectural approaches, are trying to build the first commercially viable quantum computer capable of significantly outperforming current systems. Oratomic, ...

The company has drawn governments, a major chipmaker, and the Pentagon into an effort to control fragile photons and build a useful quantum machine. It aims to be the first. The machine that could ...

In today's edition of The Edward Snowden Files, The Washington Post reports that the National Security Agency, with a plan that sounds like something Lex Luthor cooked up, is racing to build a quantum ...

While quantum computers are already being used for research in chemistry, material science, and data security, most are still too small to be useful for large-scale applications. A study led by ...

Like LEGO for the quantum age, researchers have created modular superconducting qubits that can be linked with high fidelity. This design allows reconfiguration, upgrades, and scalability, marking a ...

IonQ and Rigetti Computing are pursuing quite different technologies in their efforts to build commercially viable quantum computers.
