For decades, scientists have hunted for materials that defy conventional ideas of magnetism. Most magnetic materials, like the ones found in fridge magnets, behave in predictable ways. Their atomic ...

“This work pushes the needle in quantum computing for chemistry,” says quantum chemist and computer scientist Alán Aspuru-Guzik of the University of Toronto in Canada. “It shows in an honest way what ...

Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize computing by solving complex problems that stump even today's fastest ...

The convergence of photonic quantum computing and neutral atom arrays charts a bold and expansive trajectory for the future ...

Quantum computing could revolutionise protein modelling by enabling simulations of molecular behaviour at atomic resolution.

Understanding randomness is crucial in many fields. From computer science and engineering to cryptography and weather forecasting, studying and interpreting randomness helps us simulate real-world ...

New techniques and refinements of older ones are needed to reach <1 K for quantum-computing cooling. Part 1 provided an ...

In a quantum computer, the structure is radically different. Its basic unit of registering state is the qubit, which at one level also stores a 0 or 1 state (actually 0 and/or 1, which I'll ...

The quantum-classical hybrid framework's initial results outperformed both a classical physics-based method and AlphaFold2. Although the latter is designed to work best with larger proteins, it ...

The beating heart of IBM’s quantum computer is a chip no bigger than a quarter. These extravagant machines promise to solve difficult problems that stump today’s best classical computers.

Practical quantum computers may be decades away – but the race to build them is already tackling thorny global problems, and unlocking the secrets of the universe ...
