An operating system for quantum computers represents a major step forward in their development. One of the potential applications for a quantum computer operating system is for distributed quantum ...

Quantum computers are coming. And when they arrive, they are going to upend the way we protect sensitive data. Unlike classical computers, quantum computers harness quantum mechanical effects — like ...

Quantum computing has long been the domain of theoretical physics and academic labs, but it’s starting to move from concept to experimentation in the real world. Industries from logistics and energy ...

Google has announced a new chip it considers to be a major milestone on the road to the future of computing. Named Willow, the chip is key to Google's plans to build a scaled-up quantum computer – a ...

Google says Willow is a quantum computing chip capable of performing a task in 5 minutes that would take a supercomputer 10 septillion years to complete. Google says Willow is a quantum computing chip ...

Google unveiled an experimental machine capable of tasks that a traditional supercomputer could not master in 10 septillion years. (That’s older than the universe.) Google’s quantum computing cooling ...
