First, I want to thank everyone who joined me for our special event last week: the Next 50X NVIDIA Call. During the briefing, ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Quantum computers can outperform even the best classical supercomputers thanks to quantum entanglement and superposition, but even they can’t solve ...

Quantum physicist Vlatko Vedral proposes a radical new vision of reality, one in which observers don’t exist, there are no particles and there is no space or time. Instead, for Vedral, quantum numbers ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

Several years ago one of us, Toni, asked another of us, Marco, to come to his office at the Institute of Photonic Sciences, a large research center in Castelldefels near Barcelona. “There is a problem ...

Quantum computers still can’t do much. Almost every time researchers have found something the high-tech machines should one day excel at, a classical algorithm comes along that can do it just as well ...

A team that included researchers at a US bank says it has created a protocol that can generate certified truly random numbers, opening the possibility that current generation quantum computers can be ...

Nearly three decades ago, a new method for encrypting digital information transformed online security. Dubbed RSA↓ RSA stands for “Rivest–Shamir–Adleman,” the surnames of its inventors. , it exploited ...

Quantum computers can outperform even the best classical supercomputers thanks to quantum entanglement and superposition, but even they can’t solve some problems. A new preprint study shows how ...
