Researchers have demonstrated a new way to store quantum information by confining light and atoms together inside nanoprinted structures on a chip. Credit: Shutterstock A new chip-based quantum memory ...

The threat of quantum computing has hovered over cybersecurity for years, often framed as the moment powerful machines would break today’s encryption. But for critical infrastructure, the real problem ...

Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly "conversion table" that works on a laptop and returns results within hours. When ...

It remains an open question when a commercial quantum computer will emerge that can outperform classical (non-quantum) machines in speed and energy efficiency while solving real-world combinatorial ...

Quantum computers are often seen as the ultimate problem-solvers, capable of tackling calculations that would take classical machines millennia. By leveraging quantum bits, or qubits, which exploit ...

Singer Sylvester Nweke has argued financially empowering women is the beginning of troubles in a man’s life. In an interview on Honest Bunch podcast, Nweke said a man’s problems begin the day he opens ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

The potentially worldchanging (if successful) test of a quantum drive in orbit is being delayed by rare and infrequent communication to the cubesat. These are not problems with the drive but with the ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the ...

One of the key problems for today’s gallant, embattled Ukraine? It’s small. Ditto for Georgia (not the Georgia that includes Atlanta or Macon). Also for Kazakhstan, and even Latvia or Lithuania, all ...
