Aaron Lauda has been exploring an area of mathematics that most physicists have seen little use for, wondering if it might have practical applications. In a twist even he didn’t expect, it turns out ...

Scientists may have uncovered the missing piece of quantum computing by reviving a particle once dismissed as useless. This ...

When mathematicians revived ignored mathematical structures, they found that overlooked particles, called "neglectons," could complete the quantum computing puzzle.

A discarded mathematical oddity has become the key to unlocking universal quantum computing. By combining Ising anyons with a newly recognized particle, the neglecton, researchers showed that complex ...

When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

QuEra Computing, the leader in neutral-atom quantum computers, and Deloitte, a professional services leader, have entered an alliance to help organizations translate emerging quantum capabilities into ...

"It's really forcing us to rethink the fundamentals of how we make sure encryption adapts to dynamic future threats," said ...

IBM and RIKEN demonstrate how hybrid quantum computing is solving complex molecular chemistry problems, marking a step toward ...

Even if you’re not ready to jump into post-quantum cryptography with both feet, you can start taking practical steps now to ...

Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Nielsen and Chuang is the foundational text, covering algorithms, cryptography, and computational complexity. Qua ...

Smaller transistors made chips faster, cheaper, and more capable. As Moore's law slows, a different limit has come into focus ...
