Qubits differ from classical bits, which are coded as only 0 or 1. A qubit can be a combination of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. One way to think of it is as a coin spinning between a 0 and a 1 axis.

This fragility has been a formidable roadblock because the very properties that make quantum computers so powerful also make ...

The dream of creating game-changing quantum computers—supermachines that encode information in single atoms rather than ...

For years quantum technology seemed exciting in theory but not much good in practice. Now the ability to combine qubits—bits ...

Quantum computers have the potential to solve certain calculations exponentially faster than a classic computer could, but ...

Qubits, or quantum bits, are the fundamental units of information in quantum computing. Unlike classical bits, which can only exist in one of two states (0 or 1), qubits can exist in multiple states ...

Earlier this month, Google's quantum computing scientists demonstrated a breakthrough that indicates quantum computing is for real -- and will be able to find its place among other kinds of computers ...

IBM announced on Wednesday it has built a new experimental quantum computing chip called Loon that demonstrates it hit a key ...
