Tue, December 23, 2025 at 1:00 PM UTC Because the goal is so lofty, tracking its progress has also been difficult. To help chart a course toward truly transformative quantum technology and mark ...

Quantum computers should be powerful enough to crack Bitcoin’s security features—by instantly solving the mining mechanism or guessing wallet passwords by brute force—a few years after 2030, according ...

Claims of leaps in quantum computing are made almost daily, but progress is hard to judge when each research group uses its own mixture of hardware, algorithms and evaluation metrics, making it near ...

Quantum computers have become the latest canvas for humanity’s oldest fantasy: escaping death. Startups, futurists, and speculative essays now suggest that machines built to manipulate qubits could ...

This voice experience is generated by AI. Learn more. This voice experience is generated by AI. Learn more. Parts of the IBM Quantum System Two are displayed at IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center on ...

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Quantum computing is moving from lab curiosity to practical tool far faster than most people realize, and the shift could reorder entire industries in a single decade. Instead of incremental gains, ...

As quantum computers continue to advance, identifying problems they can solve faster than the world’s best conventional computers is becoming increasingly important – but it turns out that a key task ...

Quantum computers are powerful, lightning-fast and notoriously difficult to connect to one another over long distances. Previously, the maximum distance two quantum computers could connect through a ...

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

Quantum computing won’t break Bitcoin in 2026, but the growing practice of “harvest now, decrypt later” is pushing the crypto industry to prepare sooner rather than later. Quantum computing has long ...
