Google has taken a decisive step towards practical quantum computers. A research team from Google Quantum AI has reported the first “verifiable quantum advantage”—in other words, a measurable computing advantage over conventional supercomputers that can…
After 17 years of research, Microsoft has finally developed the Majorana 1 chip, its first quantum computing processor based on a brand-new material and architecture, reports The Verge. At the heart of a quantum computer…
Google just showed off Willow to the world, its mind-blowing quantum chip that absolutely destroyed an intensive benchmark. What would normally take today’s fastest supercomputers about 10 septillion years to complete — or 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years…
By making small adjustments to the frequency that the qubits are operating at, it’s possible to avoid these problems. This can be done when the Heron chip is being calibrated before it’s opened for general…
Getty Images Microsoft has updated a key cryptographic library with two new encryption algorithms designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers. The updates were made last week to SymCrypt, a core cryptographic code library for…
Malicious hacking is getting increasingly sophisticated, and that’s leading to a very clear trend in security technology. To keep people and organizations safe, security also has to continue advancing its own complexity. Security startup PQShield…
