Quantum Computer

The new MLPerf machine learning metric for supercomputing is designed to capture the aggregate ML capabilities of a whole supercomputer. MLCommons, the open engineering consortium that helps the industry track machine learning…

Two teams in China are claiming that they have reached primacy with their individual quantum computers. Both have published the details of their work in the journal Physical Review Letters. In the computer world, quantum primacy is the…

Supercomputer Wars China might have cemented its supercomputing supremacy with not one but two exascale computing systems. The two machines were created at the National Supercomputing Center in Wuxi, China, an anonymous source told The…

A quantum computer small enough to sit on your desk — or be embedded in a satellite, car or even a mobile phone — is no longer a pipe dream. The first such machines are actually starting to be delivered to early customers, thanks to…

Quantum engineers from UNSW Sydney have removed a major obstacle that has stood in the way of quantum computers becoming a reality. They discovered a new technique they say will be capable of controlling millions of spin qubits—the basic…

Honeywell and Google have detailed dueling demonstrations of logical qubits, a technology that can correct errors in potentially powerful but notoriously finicky quantum computers. In a research paper released Wednesday, Honeywell said it…

Google's researchers have demonstrated that, subject to certain conditions, error correction works on the company's Sycamore quantum processor and can even scale exponentially, in what is yet another step towards building a fault-tolerant…

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. Scientists on the hunt for an unconventional kind of superconductor have produced the most compelling evidence to date that they’ve found one.…

So far, quantum computing has been a prerogative of large and well-funded research institutes and commercial companies with deep pockets. But every new technology becomes democratized sooner or later and it looks like this is about to…

In a moment of triumph that’s being hailed as equivalent to the move from room-scale silicon technology down to desk-sized machines, quantum computing has now gone chip-scale — down from the room-scale contraptions you might have seen…
