In December 2024, a team at Google published a result in Nature that physicists had been chasing for nearly three decades: a ...

RIKEN scientists tap into AI to find a smarter method for fixing quantum errors, cutting resource demands for stable quantum machines. Theoretical physicists at RIKEN have made a key advance in ...

The researchers have proven PLANAR's effectiveness on surface codes under particular noise conditions and plan to adapt it for non-planar graphs with finite genus, opening the door to broader use in ...

In August 2024, NIST finalized its first three post-quantum cryptographic standards, including FIPS 205 based on SPHINCS+, and companion key encapsulation protocols. These binding specifications have ...

Today’s quantum computing hardware is severely limited in what it can do by errors that are difficult to avoid. There can be problems with everything from setting the initial state of a qubit to ...

Various methods are used to correct errors in quantum computers. Not all operations can be implemented equally well with different correction codes. Therefore, a research team has developed a method ...

For quantum computers to go from research curiosities to practically useful devices, researchers need to get their errors under control. New research from Microsoft and Quantinuum has now taken a ...

The fragile qubits that make up quantum computers offer a powerful computational tool, yet also present a conundrum: How can engineers create practical, workable quantum systems out of bits that are ...

Quantum computing is still in its infancy, easily beaten by traditional computers. One of the biggest challenges? The fact that quantum bits — qubits — are much more fragile than the bits in silicon ...
