A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is.

We speak to Rob Akers, director for computing programmes at UK Atomic Energy Institute, about its new artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer.

At the time, their technique was a fascinating but impractical creation. Forty years later, it is poised to become an ...

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they’ve been awarded the highest honor in computer science.

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognized for their foundational work in quantum information science.

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that the properties of the perovskite family of materials can be used to create so-called quantum bits. The findings, published in the journal Nature ...

Divide any circle’s circumference by its diameter and you get pi. But what, exactly, are its digits? Measuring physical ...

The errors that quantum computers make are holding the technology back. But recent progress in quantum error correction has ...

In the era of A.I. agents, many Silicon Valley programmers are now barely programming. Instead, what they’re doing is deeply, ...

Meet Andie Carrillo, zoology preparator with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and a STEM mentor for Girls & Science. Some parts of her job can be self-admittedly "a little bit gory," but her ...

Something strange happened at University of California campuses this fall. For the first time since the dot-com crash, computer science enrollment dropped. System-wide, it fell 6% last year after ...
