"Quantum" may seem like a useless buzzword, but quantum computing is a real thing, and it's actually understandable even if you don't know physics.

Did you know that China has invested over $15 billion in quantum computing research? This staggering figure highlights the intense global competition to lead in this groundbreaking technology. Quantum ...

Physicist Paul Davies’s Quantum 2.0: The past, present and future of quantum physics ends on a beautiful note. “To be aware of the quantum world is to glimpse something of the majesty and elegance of ...

Quantum entanglement is one of the strangest and most fascinating phenomena in physics. Even Einstein didn’t believe it - he called it “spooky action at a distance” - but science has proven it true.

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, connects quantum mechanics to infinitely intricate mathematical structures. Hofstadter was ...

Various methods are used to correct errors in quantum computers. Not all operations can be implemented equally well with different correction codes. Therefore, a research team has developed a method ...

The post-quantum era is still “several decades away,” but it could be a net positive for the Bitcoin network’s security. Advancements in quantum computing have the potential to strengthen the Bitcoin ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

What is the Q-Day prize? The Q-Day Prize is a challenge to make the Bitcoin network quantum resistant. On April 16, 2025, quantum computing-focused company Project 11 announced the “Q-Day Prize,” a ...

A new research paper by Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney shows that breaking widely used RSA encryption may require 20 times fewer quantum resources than previously believed. The finding did ...
