Qubits are the fundamental building blocks of quantum computers — and, when fitted into these machines — rely on the weird laws of quantum mechanics to process calculations in parallel. When you ...

Governments and tech companies continue to pour money into quantum technology in the hopes of building a supercomputer that can work at speeds we can't yet fathom to solve big problems.

The quantum world is famously weird—a single particle can be in two places at once, its properties are undefined until they are measured, and the very act of measuring a quantum system changes ...

Quantum technologies might seem incompatible with life. The quantum bits, or qubits, that make them up commonly require ultracold temperatures, and rely on hard, orderly materials like diamond or ...

Quantum superposition is a phenomenon in which a tiny particle can be in two states at the same time — but only if it is not being directly observed. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
