Despite their immense promise to solve new kinds of problems, today’s quantum computers are inherently prone to error. A small perturbation in their surrounding ...

For a while researchers thought they’d have to make do with noisy, error-prone systems, at least in the near term. That’s starting to change. In the past 20 years, hundreds of companies, including ...

Scientists have achieved the lowest quantum computing error rate ever recorded — an important step in solving the fundamental challenges on the way to practical ...

Google LLC has achieved a major breakthrough in its efforts to build a quantum computer that can be used for practical applications. The company said today its discovery will help it to overcome the ...

For humans, background noise is generally just a minor irritant. But for quantum computers, which are very sensitive, it can be a death knell for computations. And because “noise” for a quantum ...
