Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

What it still cannot do No quantum computer available in 2026 can break modern encryption. That point deserves emphasis because it is the source of the most persistent public confusion about the ...

The U.S. and China are racing to develop computers based on the properties of quantum physics – with implications for science ...

Quantum computing is an emerging field that uses the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computation. A quantum computer is a very different type of computer that uses the weird rule of quantum ...

Trump’s recent executive orders will accelerate the U.S. quantum computing and post-quantum encryption timelines.

This article is part of a package on the future of quantum computing. Read about the most promising applications of these machines here and see an illustrated field guide to qubits here. Inside a ...

Among today’s emerging technologies, only agentic AI rivals quantum computing in the hype and promises surrounding its enterprise impact. While significant research on quantum computing continues, ...

Quantum computing’s long-term potential is enormous, with a $100 billion-plus market expected – but commercial adoption is still years away. Quantum computing stocks surged on hype and crashed on ...

Yesterday, as you've probably heard, The Wall Street Journal reported on a Trump Administration plan to award $2 billion in grants to nine quantum computing companies -- none of which is named Quantum ...

New research from Google's Quantum AI team suggests a future quantum computer could derive a bitcoin private key from a public key in about nine minutes, potentially allowing attackers to hijack ...

Washington’s $2 billion quantum investment went to foundries, not computers — the same infrastructure-first structure that drove the AI supercycle. In AI, GPU makers outperformed before applications ...
