A chance meeting during a dip in the ocean was the first step on the road to quantum information science.

Within a crystal's atomic structure, tiny atomic-scale flaws will naturally occur where electrons can become trapped. These defects have emerged as one of the leading platforms for quantum information ...

Temperature adds another challenge. Standard DFT is essentially a zero-temperature approach, so thermal effects must be ...

These abilities enable their special feats of computing. Imagine that a classical computer solves a maze by trying one path ...

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these ...

The United States and Iran have clashed over Tehran’s nuclear program as a review of the treaty meant to prevent the spread of atomic weapons got underway at the United Nations.

A study published in Engineering explores a novel robot subset selection strategy for multi-user edge computing systems, designed to maximize the operational lifetime of robot swarms by exploiting ...

Last week, cybersecurity researchers woke up to bad news. Research in new papers published by Google and a quantum computing startup, Oratomic, suggests that quantum computers capable of breaking the ...
