The American National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected security algorithms CRYSTALS-KYBER, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, and SPHINCS+ as new standards for post-quantum cryptography. The underlying technology must ensure that…

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, dramatically improved the coherence time of a previously developed quantum membrane. The membrane can store sensitive quantum information for further processing in a quantum…

MIT developed a programming language to describe and verify which pieces of data are entangled, preventing bugs in a quantum program. When qubits are entangled, action on one affects the other, also changing its value—even at a distance.…

Universities Space Research Association (USRA) announced the beginning of operations for phase-2 of DARPA's Optimization with Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum devices (ONISQ) program. Phase 1 launched in 2020, and USRA was selected to lead…

Quantum computer construction is exceptionally costly. However, a new technique from the University of Melbourne-led team creates large-scale patterns of counted atoms. They control the atoms so that quantum states can be manipulated,…

A newly designed microwave source could replace existing bulky control systems that hinder the scalability of quantum computers. This breakthrough is the result of a recently developed circuit that produces the high-quality microwave…

It was just a matter of time before private quantum-computing companies began to hit the public markets. Rigetti & Co., Inc. entered into a definitive merger agreement with Supernova Partners Acquisition Company II, Ltd. The transaction…

Artificial intelligence and quantum computing are making rapid progress. The fusion of AI and quantum physics is spawning a new field--quantum AI. Before it can be harnessed, however, there’s a small problem of the vulnerability of quantum…

Estimates are that the quantum computing market will reach $65 billion by 2030. A research team led by Xu Yi, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science…

Hybrid classical/quantum algorithms are beginning to make strides in performance even from noisy and error prone quantum solutions. Published in a new article in Nature Reviews Physics, variational quantum algorithms use quantum boxes to…
